burning. after trying every gui frontend i could find (xcdroast, gtoaster, and k3b)
i decided to try something very basic. i figured i would try to burn data to the cd
from the command line.
>mkisofs -r -o myDir.iso /myDir
>cdrecord -v dev=0,0,0 myDir.iso
(myDir.iso ~522MB)
and this is what i get (i've seen this same error with at least two of the guis)...

i emailed schilling and he seemed to think it was a problem with the redhat version of libscg.
i'm still confident this will work. i have found one log from someone who was able to get this drive working
under some debian release. and at the toshiba website they don't even provide windows drivers because they
claim none are needed. if you want they'll provide you with an msdos atapi driver. is it obvious to anyone
what i may be doing wrong? any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
alex.
