John, I am sorry to alert you to the fact that Mitsumi cdrw drives don't work so well with Linux! I don't know if you have checked the hardware database yet for this model, but I am guessing it will not be listed as a working model. I tried a couple different models of Mitsumi drives a few months back and could not get either of them to work and Mitsumi tech support just flat out say they don't support Linux! I gave up on them and returned the units for an Acer model, that works the best I have seen/used. I am sure some others here can give you details on their working models too.

I have a Mitsumi CR-480ATE CD-RW drive. I've followed the directions in the CD-Writing HOWTO, but it does not work.
My /etc/modules.conf file has these lines:
alias char-major-21 sg # cd writer options ide-cd ignore=hdc alias scd0 sr_mod pre-install sg modprobe ide-scsi pre-install sr_mod modprobe ide-scsi pre-install ide-scsi modprobe ide-cd
In my lilo.conf file I have this:
image = /boot/vmlinuz root = /dev/hda3 label = linux append = "hdc=ide-scsi"
I get these complaints in my logfile:
May 24 16:26:29 bi165 modprobe: modprobe: pre-install sg failed May 24 16:26:29 bi165 modprobe: modprobe: insmod char-major-21 failed ...those two lines repeated twenty times...

I haven't a clue what's wrong, and I'd be grateful for some suggestions.
