Impulse has context-sensitive help available, I'd start with that. But, if you get stuck of need some pointers, mail me off the list and I'll help you as best I can. BTW: ST3 is outdated.

I have it working fine under Linux, except for some CD playing tools that don't like the SCSI emulation. When I burn a CD, I can do all kinds of other things: compile a kernel, work in X, etc, etc. But- my system also serves loop-mounted ISO cd images to windows clients with samba, and for some reason that tends to suck down cpu when I'm burning. Turning on IRQ unmasking for the non-cd drives in your system helps (man hdparm) but can cause problems on some hardware. If you're in the market for a burner, I'd go with a SCSI. Getting this IDE to work properly was a right pain in the ass. -- ______________________________________________________________ | ian eure, network admin, freelance security consultant, and | | manically depressed paranoid schizophrenic, at your service. | ; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - http://minion.org ; : raw speed = 105.6 wpm with 4.5% errors : . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
