    Hi all,

    This is my first post to the list, having struggled over the last few days to
    get my burner working. I've read the HowTos and been through the archive, but
    get the following when I use cdrecord:

      [root@opus /opt]# cdrecord -v -V -scanbus
      Cdrecord 1.9 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2000 Jörg Schilling
      TOC Type: 1 = CD-ROM
      Using libscg version 'schily-0.1'
      scsibus0:
       
      Executing 'test unit ready' command on Bus 0 Target 0, Lun 0 timeout 40s
      CDB: 00 00 00 00 00 00
      cdrecord: Inappropriate ioctl for device. Cannot send SCSI cmd via ioctl
      [root@opus /opt]#

    I have done the following mods to my PC:

      1. Set Parallel Mode to EPP in the BIOS
      2. Installed RH7.0 with standard 2.2.16 kernel. This appears to have
    everything required!
      3. Run the following commands:

        insmod parport
        insmod paride
        insmod epat
        insmod pg verbose=1 drive0=0x378,0,0,-1,-1,0

    When I use the pcd driver, I can mount CD-ROMs fine, and extract data. So I
    know the mechanism is OK.

    I have essentially run out of ideas. Any suggestions? Some other information
    which may help:
