For a list of "reported to work" drives that work with cdrecord check out: http://www.fokus.gmd.de/research/cc/glone/employees/joerg.schilling/private/cdwriters-1.8.html Also, notice the "It should run on: All SCSI-3/mmc compliant drives, All ATAPI/mmc compliant drvies" The HP 7200 drive is listed, so maybe it will work with your drive. - kevin On Tue, 17 Aug 1999, Andrew Atrens wrote: > > Hi Amancio, > > I've got a: > > acd0: <HP CD-Writer+ 7200/V:003.01> CDROM drive at ata1 as master > acd0: drive speed 1034KB/sec, 768KB cache > acd0: supported read types: CD-R, CD-RW, CD-DA, packet track > acd0: supported write types: CD-R, CD-RW, test write > acd0: Audio: play, 128 volume levels > > (HP 7200i) which works great.
