Recognising a different CD drive.
I have two internal IDE CDROM drives, the first is a player connected as
Primary/Slave. The second is a CDWriter connected as Secondary/Master. I
want to play audio CDs from the second drive, but I can't find a way of
getting SuSE/KDE to do this. It will only find the first drive and try to
play from that.

I have changed Control Centre/Sound/Audio IO Slave from /dev/cdrom to
/dev/cdrecorder as I thought from reading the manuals, that may do it. But
it doesn't. The second (Secondary/Master) drive plays audio CDs in Windows,
so the audio lead is plugged up correctly.

What do I have to edit to get the second drive recognised instead of the
first?

I am running an unmodified version 7.3 as I am setting up a new computer.

Many thanks for any advice.

Keith
