Nothing wrong with dev=cdrom (if cdrom is a named device is cdrecord.conf), but it's usually redundant when there's only one cd writing device specified in cdrecord.conf. However, if there are multiple cd writing devices specified, dev=cdrom would be necessary in order to specify device "cdrom" rather than say "dvdwriter". Paul. -- Paul Howarth <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
