Subject: [SPARCbook] CR Writer with a Tadpole 3000st SPARCbook.


> Hi All,

before.  Here's the problem:
>
> I have a Tadpole 3000st running Solaris 2.6.  I want to connect an
external SCSI CD Writer to it.  I know that if I attach a standard SCSI
CD-Rom on ID 5 it will be detected and I can both boot from and read
standard CD-Rom's.  However, when I connect an external CD-Writer (Philips
CDD 3600) with SCSI ID 5 it is not detected even as a normal CD-Rom drive!
>
> The CD writing software I tried was cdrecord.  As root, I used the
"scanbus" parameter to see if it would find the drive but the error was
"Unable to open SCSI device" or words to that effect.  The cdrecord docs
suggested turning off volume management, I tried this but still the same.

on Monday.
