Since you're using an Atapi system, one thing which could be causing your grief is if you have your BIOS set to cable select the master/slave drives (as opposed to using jumper select). Just last week, there was quite a big discussion on The Register (www.theregister.co.uk) about a software

Hmmm. Actually, the writer is IDE/ATAPI with SCSI emulation via the ide-scsi module. The drive is detected just as the normal ATAPI CDROM on my system is. I have now managed to get two CDs burned without difficulty (not too loud or it will jinx it) but set the speed to 1x instead of 2x. I

RE: [expert] Enough! What is wrong with linux and cdwriters?

2001-11-09 Thread Jose M. Sanchez
The constant blinking activity is a SCSI command error. The SCSI cpu doesn't know what to do and has gone offline hence your errors. If you shut down your system and restart, everything will be ok again. You might want to TURN DOWN the data rate on the SCSI drive via the controller's BIOS.

How do I turn down the data rate? I am not sure how I am supposed to access the controller's bios. I have set it to 2x write speed (it is a slow CD burner). Are you saying I must try 1x? Also...there is no way other than a reboot to get it back? On Friday 09 November 2001 07:45 pm, you

No, the data rate for SCSI xfers is not the same thing as the record speed. Normally there is some technique provided to permit access to extended SCSI function on your SCSI board or chipset. The Data rate controls how fast the SCSI controller talks to the SCSI drive. CD-ROM drives (as well as
