The new version of CDVDBurn does let me rip tracks from an Audio CD. Not
checked the results in detail, but they sound OK at a first listen. However
I've not yet been able to write any discs. The logfile lists a series of
errors wrt scsi ID. (I presume here SCSI means the USB.)

Checking, *scsidevices gives me

*scsidevices
File 'scsidevices' not found
*devices
Device Type              Capacity    Vendor   Product          Revision
0:0.0  Direct-access     Unknown     Generic  USB SD Reader    1.00
0:0.1  Direct-access     Unknown     Generic  USB MS Reader    1.03
0:1.0  Read-only         Unknown     Optiarc  DVD RW AD-7740H  1.00
*

which shows the drive as "Read only".

So might that be the cause of the problem?

About 10+ years ago when I had *real* scsi systems I did have to play about
with scsi settings for devices to get things working. But I've long
forgotten how to do this or the relevant commands. And now, of course scsi
really means 'usb' so things may be different.

Can anyone comment on this and say how I might make the 'scsi' allow the
drive to accept writes?

I'll also ask around elsewhere. I've also emailed Steffen about this.

Slainte,

Jim
