You can read and write cd's using the scsi interface. To read the cd, you mount the drive as you would if it were a scsi drive, the command line I use is: mount /dev/sr0 /cdrom -t iso9660 -ro What won't work, or at least won't work for me, is ripping audio off the disks through scsi emulation. So I want to copy CDs I boot to an ATAPI kernel, rip my CDs, then boot a scsi kernel and write the CDs. Mark W.
