Hi all,
I have a BACKPACK external CD-RW (made by MICRO-SOLUTIONS). I will like to know if there is
anybody using it under linux. I have Mandrake 9.0 and there is no driver
on BAckpack website.
This CD-RW is connected to parallel port (LPT1).

Thanks

I haven't used one of those drives, but I think you need a driver to 
emulate SCSI on the parallel port.
