During boot the kernel reports the following during probing wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 on isa wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): <Maxtor 72004 A> wdc0: unit 1 (atapi): <OTI-SCYLLA/F011v200>, removable, iordy wcd0: 344Kb/sec, 240Kb cache, audio play, 255 volume levels, ejectable tray wcd0: 120mm data disc loaded, unlocked If I place an audio CD in the drive during boot the kernel will report that the drive contains an audio CD. I therefore assume that the CDROM is capable of playing audio.. However, I can't get xmcd to recognise the drive at all!!! I've tried everything I can think of... I believe the device is a generic non-SCSI (its an Octek 8x CDROM - CDR 688 Version 1.0 Part Number : PM58000009-000) The user manual for the drive does not say whether it is SCSI but does make mention of connecting the drive to a soundcard's IDE controller. I therefore assume it is an EIDE/IDE drive. I tried using /dev/rwcd0c as the device for the drive and chose to use the non-SCSI option in the xmcd setup... But still no success....(even with other config's) Has any one got any suggestions ???? Thanx in advance, David M. Henshaw dhenshaw@silas.cc.monash.edu.au
