Just got a brand new external CDRW (Gericom enclosure see below for model) and it doesnt work. Its connected to my firewire port. I tried writing just two (wav) tracks to a CD and it crashes out with the same error: linux:/video/test # cdrecord dev=1,0,0 -eject speed=2 -pad -audio *.wav cdrecord: No write mode specified. cdrecord: Asuming -tao mode. cdrecord: Future versions of cdrecord may have different drive dependent defaults. cdrecord: Continuing in 5 seconds...
