Hi All,
I am wondering if anyone on this list has gotten a Mitsumi CR48X8 TE CDRW drive working with KreateCD or KOncd or anything else as far as that goes. I have gotten the drive to read, erase cdrw's, it slices, it dices, it makes juliene fries, but it won't burn a CDR or rw disc. KreateCD always comes up with errors, but it also sees the drive but recognizes it as a Philips CD522 for some reason and I don't know if that is just KreateCD or cdrecord not being updated for this drive?
Have you tried burning something from the CLI and seeing what the errors that cdrecord gives you are? What does KreateCD tell you? You said it can erase CDRWs, which is a great step, I guess. Have you recently updated the cdrecord package on your computer? You state in your sig you are running SuSE 7.2, which comes with cdrecord 1.9 which came out in 1999. There's no point in trying to fix something when it may already be fixed in a recent cdrecord. The newest version is now 1.11a12. You can get my RPM off http://home.earthlink.net/~noodlez84/rpm_packages/cdrtools- 1.11a12-4.i386.rpm or the source at ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/cdrecord/alpha/cdrtools- 1.11a12.tar.gz . Your choice, and the compile is a simple 'make'. Report back... -- Karol Pietrzak PGP KeyID: 3A1446A0
