    I have buyed an freecom cdrw and an freecom portable cdrw.
    The CDRW is a FREECOM PORTABLE CDRW (FC-RW-2224EU / 13504).
    The CABLE is a FREECOM PARALLEL PORT CABLE (FC-Cable-PAR / 12544).

    Now i want to use the cdrw with linux.

    On (www.torque.net/parport) i have found an direction.
    In this direction stand, that i must load the modules paride, friq and pcd to
    use the cdrw as an normal cd-drive.

    #modprobe paride
    #modprobe friq
    #modprobe pcd

    The module pcd found an CDRW on my parport.

    pcd: pcd version 1.07, major 46, nice 0
    pcd0: Sharing parport0 at 0x378
    pcd0: friq 1.01, Freecom IQ ASCI-2 adapter at 0x378, mode 4 (EPP-32), delay
    1
    pcd0: Master R/RW 2x2x24

    But i couldn't mount this cd-drive.
    When i make this i always get a lot of error messages.

    pcd0: WARNING: ATAPI phase errors

    I have tested the CDRW with different PC's and different versions of linux,
    but i always get the same error messages.

    At next i have looked at the Internet. I have found the following message in
    the archieve of this mailing list
    ("http://www.torque.net/parport/archive/hist/1045.html"). The person in this
    message have the same problem like i.
    Also I have found on the net the following file
    ("http://lists.insecure.org/linux-kernel/2000/Nov/att-1700/02-kernlog_pcd_scsi")
    This file is description of my problem (but not writen from my).
    I fount this file on an archieve of the linux kernel mailing list of the
    november of 2000.

    I think that some person have the same problem like i.
    Doas somebody knows an answear for this problem?

    I hope you can help me and pleas write back.

    MFG
