Hi, I just bought a new LG GCC-4521B DVD CDRW combo, and I am having a tough time trying to make it read/write cds with FC2. k3b does recognize it as a recording device (although it doesn't detect automatically the maximum writing speed), but it doesn't see it as a reading device. According to this item on k3b FAQ [http://k3b.plainblack.com/index.pl/faq#3] this could be cdrdao's fault. cdrdao almost does it if I give it a hand with --device ATA:1,0,0 --driver generic-mmc-raw : # cdrdao read-toc --device ATA:1,0,0 --driver generic-mmc-raw test.toc Cdrdao version 1.1.8 - (C) Andreas Mueller <andreas@xxxxxxxx> SCSI interface library - (C) Joerg Schilling Paranoia DAE library - (C) Monty Check http://cdrdao.sourceforge.net/drives.html#dt for current driver tables. Using libscg version 'schily-0.8' ATA:1,0,0: HL-DT-ST RW/DVD GCC-4521B Rev: 1.00 Using driver: Generic SCSI-3/MMC (raw writing) - Version 2.0 (options 0x0000) Reading toc data... Track Mode Flags Start Length ------------------------------------------------------------ 1 DATA 4 00:00:00( 0) 68:14:54(307104) Leadout DATA 4 68:14:54(307104) PQ sub-channel reading (data track) is supported, data format is BCD. Raw P-W sub-channel reading (data track) is supported. Analyzing track 01 (MODE1): start 00:00:00, length 68:14:54... Reading of toc data finished successfully. ======= However, I can't seem to make it work with k3b; I tried providing the same parameters above to cdrecord on k3b's programs tab, but it didn't help. Any hints will be much appreciated. TIA Andre -- Andre Oliveira da Costa
