[linux-help] Re: CD writer needs SCSI driver

["Larry Bottorff Jr." <mrprenzl@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The -scanbus option just produces a usage listing:
---
# cdrecord -scanbus -eject -v speed=12 dev=0,0,0 psyche-i386-disc5.iso
cdrecord: No tracks allowed with this option
cdrecord: Usage: cdrecord [options] track1...trackn
Options:
        -version        print version information and exit
        dev=target      SCSI target to use as CD/DVD-Recorder
        timeout=#       set the default SCSI command timeout to #.
        debug=#,-d      Set to # or increment misc debug level

I know there's a silver bullet solution because this is the second time 
I've installed 7.3 on this machine. The first time was with the HP 
cd-writer and it worked like a charm, so this second time when I threw 
in the HP after installing with another CD player just needs some sort 
of setting change. (I would hate to have to install 7.3 again just so I 
can burn 8.0 disks....)
