Others have said a lot here already, but I want to raise more fundamental puzzlement. I didn't know cdrecord (see below) was even able to burn to atapi devices under 2.4.x kernels. You might want to report the error messages in more detail.

Hi, Ray:
I am using Slackware v9.1, kernel 2.4.22, and a "CRW-5224A, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive"
'cdrecord' can 'burn' to ATAPI devices with SCSI emulation.
If append="hdc=ide-scsi" is parsed in lilo.conf during boot ( and you are using lilo as the boot loader and /dev/hdc is your CDROM-RW device ;-) then applications that default to using SCSI devices will use the ATAPI device. Here is a script that I use to burn data to my ATAPI CDROM-RW device:
#!/bin/bash # # /usr/local/bin/burncd.sh #
cat /usr/local/bin/burncd.sh
echo "" echo " First argument is <$1>." echo "Second argument is <$2>." echo ""
eject -t ; close the CDROM tray
if [ -n $1 ] ; then if [ -n $2 ] ; then cdrecord -v dev=0,0,0 fs=64M speed=$2 driveropts=burnproof $1 else echo "Second argument is burn speed [1 - 52] and must not be null." fi else echo "" echo "First argument is filename.ext and must not be null." echo "" fi mount /mnt/cdrom && ls -l /mnt/cdrom && umount /mnt/cdrom echo $1 eject
HTH, Chuck
