This is a followup on the problem I had with the HP7200.
This problem is solved, Here are the things I did to resolve it.
1. Download the latest rev of cdrecord (cdrtools-1.10). Compile and install.
RH7.1 version 1.9 will not work.
2. Set the cdda2wav and cdrecord to be setuid root. This is so they can
open /dev/sg? as a regular user.
3. Read the rc.pp and README.parallel file included in cdrtools-1.10.
This was to determine the correct parameters to "insmod pg" and "insmod pcd0"
The correct parameters would provide the device name needed by
cdrecord and cdda2wav of "0,0,0".
At this point cdda2wav is able to read the CD ( still slow and freezes the OS)
cdrecord is able to write audio to the CD.
The speed issue might be resolved by setting the drive to EPP mode. Since
this is a separate parallel port bd I need to dig into the docs of the bd
to see how it is done.
Thanks to all, but specially to Stephen Mollet and Wolfgang Rohdewald for
providing clues to look for.
