    I am having trouble writing to this drive using the pg driver.
    The drive is model number 193250.

    I am able to mount the drive using the pcd driver however.
    But when I install the pg driver (without the pcd driver) I get the
    following probems:
    cdrecord -scanbus does not detect the drive.

    here is some output from dmesg:

    parport0: PC-style at 0x378 [PCSPP,TRISTATE]

    any ideas?

    Note: I am currently running kernel 2.4.2-2 on a RH 7.1 system.
    This is a Toshiba 440CDT laptop (133 Mhz pentium mmx).

    thanks for your help.
