Anyways the device is >actually /dev/pcd0. So it'd be: xcdroast not working? What does "cdrecord -scanbus" show you when the 7200e is plugged in and all the modules are loaded? It's entirely possible that the thing is way out on /dev/sg8 or some such, though cdrecord will probably report it as "1,0,0". You also need "SCSI Generic Support" compiled as a module or into the kernel for writing to work at all. Once that's done, try cdrecord out. Its diagnostic messages are somewhat terse and cryptic, but a damn sight more helpful than Xcdroast's. BTW, don't post 5 copies of the same message. It makes people think you're clueless... -- Matt G / Dances With Crows \###| Programmers are playwrights There is no Darkness in Eternity \##| Computers are lousy actors But only Light too dim for us to see \#| Lusers are vicious drama critics (Unless, of course, you're working with NT)\| BOFHen burn down theatres.
