Specifications

5.1 It doesn't work: under Linux
Please check first, that the writer works under the software it is shipped with (=under another operating
system). Concretely:
• Does the controller recognize the writer as a SCSI device?
• Does the driver software recognize the writer?
• Is it possible to make a CD using the accompanied software?
If "it doesn't even work" with the accompanied software you have a hardware conflict or defective hardware.
If it works and you use loadlin to boot Linux, then that is a problem with loadlin. Loadlin makes a
warm−boot with most of the hardware already initialized and that can confuse the Linux kernel.
5.2 Error−message: No read access for 'dev=0,6,0'.
Under Linux, some versions of the C−library are incompatible (buggy), so that an application linked against
one version will not work with another. An example for an error triggered by pre−compiled binaries is the
following:
[root@Blue /dev]# cdrecord −eject dev=0,6,0
cdrecord: No such file or directory. No read access for 'dev=0,6,0'.
The solution is to install a newer C−library.
5.3 It doesn't work: under DOS and friends
Try to use Linux. Installation and configuration of SCSI drivers for DOS is the hell. Linux is too
complicated? Ha!
5.4 SCSI errors during the burning phase
Most likely those errors are caused by
• missing dis−/reconnect feature on the SCSI bus
• insufficiently cooled hardware
• defective hardware (should be detected by 5.1.)
