Hello,

I've been using the packet writing patches floating around for some time, and find them very useful. I have modified slightly a recent one to work with 2.4.21-rc8. It worked with the IDE CD-ROM driver (that is, /dev/hdc), but with the ide-scsi driver at /dev/scd0, it would read but threw up a write error every time a modification was attempted.

Has anyone made a packet writing patch compatible with 2.4.21 that works with ide-scsi?

My workaround to date has been to unload the ide-scsi module and insert the IDE cdrom module when I want to use packet writing, and do the reverse when I want to use cdrecord. It's quite annoying and I'd rather just use one device the whole time.

Thanks,
John Goerzen

cdrecord 2.x should handle writing CDs on 2.4 kernel machines. I'm not in a position to test that at the moment, but -checkdrive does detect the drive fine.
