usb cdr drive

[Anders Lyckegaard]

Hi Daniel,

I think your CDR drive is supposed to be supported.

The greek content below shows your USB hubs.

I think your CDR was not conencted when you found it. Your kernel messages 
show that the kernel finds the drive and assigns a device number to it.  Your 
CDR drive should have been there.

I think that your drive is supported through scsi-emulation, so once you have 
that under control you should be able to mount your drive at /dev/sda1 or 
somewhere near depending on you scsi setup. 
Your standard kernel should include the right modules for the scsi emulation, 
so you just need to insert the modules. I'm no expert on scsi-emulation but I 
think that you should be able to figure it out with a bit of reading on
http://www.linux-usb.org.

Best of luck,

Anders
