Frank,
the 'dev=' part of the line is probably different for you. If you do the
'cdrecord --scanbus' it should detect that you have the ide-scsi emulation
thing. If you've only got 1 drive on that (if you've got 1 burner, that's
probably all you have), the dev line in there should read like 'dev=0,0,0'
instead of 0,4,0.
Here's the output of my cdrecord --scanbus:
Cdrecord 1.9 (i586-mandrake-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2000 Jörg Schilling
Linux sg driver version: 3.1.17
Using libscg version 'schily-0.1'
scsibus0:
0,0,0 0) 'HP ' 'CD-Writer+ 8100 ' '1.0g' Removable CD-ROM
0,1,0 1) *
0,2,0 2) *
0,3,0 3) *
0,4,0 4) *
0,5,0 5) *
0,6,0 6) *
0,7,0 7) *
The HP burns at 4x, so speed=4, and the LUN(?)/device number is 0,0,0.
For this ide burner, the line would look like
cdrecord -v speed=4 dev=0,0,0 e-smith-4.2.0.iso
