Hello everybody!

After thorough research (this list, among other resources) I recently
bought a HP 7200e external, parallellport CDRW-unit. I have followed all
the instructions I have found here and there about compiling the kernel (I
have compiled in pg-support), creating the devices and using cdrecord.

As the following lines will tell you, the unit is detected and setup
correctly at boot time.

--
paride: epat registered as protocol 0
pg: pg version 1.02s, major 97
pg0: epat 1.01, Shuttle EPAT chip c6 at 0x378, mode 2 (8-bit), delay 1
pg0: HP CD-Writer+ 7200, slave
--

However, I still have problems writing to CDs with the unit. With CDRWs I get the following error when trying the command: # cdrecord -v -data -dummy -speed=1 dev=0,0 rh52

With CDRs, cdrecord gets past the -dummy tests, but when I tried the following I got the posted errors after a number of tracks (audio cd): # cdrecord -audio -pad -speed=1 dev=0,0 track*

Now to my questions: * Any explanations that would explain these? * Anybody get their HP 7200e och Philips CD3610 working with a Dell Optiplex? * I saw something about problems with parallellports that cannot be set to EPP, only PS/2 or AT. Did you guys figure out what to do about this? Did you solve it? The thread just kind of died... * Would using modules instead of compiled-in pg-support help me in any way?

All help would be appreciated...
