Hi Chris,

Under Redhat7.3, if you just plug in the CD-RW and then let the "kudzu"
hardware detection utility run (either type "kudzu" when logged in as
root, or reboot), it should detect and configure the writer.  I have
seen CD-RW drives work under RH7.3 with this plug'n'play method.

The disk will probably use scsi emulation.  You can check if it worked
by putting in a normal (already recorded) CD and doing:

# mount /dev/sr0 -t iso9660 /mnt

or maybe /dev/sr1 if you already have a CD drive in your computer (do
all this as root). Or just insert a CD and let KDE or GNOME auto-load it.

If it fails, send us the output, and also do:

# lsusb | less

and see if the output lists the CD drive.

In any case, do:

# cdrecord -scanbus

to see if your device is being detected.

Tell us what you get, and any error messages you may encounter.

There was a discussion on this list about Pro Tools a while ago.  Anyone
remember the subject line / link to archive?
