    I purchased a Backpack cd-rw device about 6 months ago, but just got
    around to trying it on a redhat 7.2 (upgraded from 7.0). I wanted
    to
    use software like xcdroast. After going through a number of
    documents,
    etc., I have managed to "see" it correctly. But I can't seem to be
    able
    to
    "mount" it. Obviously I must be doing something wrong.

    I did the following:

    modprobe paride
    modprobe bpck6
    modprobe pg

    "dmesg" gives the following, which seems to be all fine based on
    what I
    have read:

    paride: version 1.06 installed (parport)
    bpck6: BACKPACK Protocol Driver V2.0.2
    bpck6: Copyright 2001 by Micro Solutions, Inc., DeKalb IL. USA
    paride: bpck6 registered as protocol 0
    pg: pg version 1.02, major 97
    parport0: PC-style at 0x378 [PCSPP,TRISTATE,EPP]
    parport0: cpp_daisy: aa5500ff(38)
    parport0: assign_addrs: aa5500ff(38)
    parport0: cpp_daisy: aa5500ff(38)
    parport0: assign_addrs: aa5500ff(38)
    parport_pc: Via 686A parallel port: io=0x378
    pg0: Sharing parport0 at 0x378
    pg0: BACKPACK Protocol Driver V2.0.2
    pg0: Copyright 2001 by Micro Solutions, Inc., DeKalb IL.
    pg0: BACKPACK 2.0.2, Micro Solutions BACKPACK Drive at 0x378
    pg0: Unit: 68 Mode:4 (EPP-32) Delay 0
    pg0: TEAC CD-W58E, master

    >From what I read, I am supposed to mount it next using something
    like:
    mount /dev/pg0 /mnt/parcdrw (/mnt/parcdrw is rwxrwxr-x)
    But I get this back:
    mount: /dev/pg0 is not a block device

    I have tried mounting with all sorts of different things like ext2,
    iso9660, but to no avail.

    I hope you can help me.

    Thanks.
