Have you terminated the SCSI bus > correctly after adding the CDRW? Yes, I checked my hardware. Cables is Ok, termination set correctly. Cable in using about 2 years without problems. This cable has 3 connectors. Before RICOH installation in using was 2 of it: first and last. On first, as it was before, and as it right now, lives my AHA-1540CF with termination enabled. On the last was SEAGATE SCSI HDD terminated also. Termination what has RICOH not so useful as SEAGATE termination, by this reason I moved HDD on the second connector with termination disabled, CDRW was set at the last connector with terminators preinstalled at the factory. I only change SCSI ID of CDRW from 2 to 1 (AHA has 7 and HDD has 0). I think all of this is all right, isn't it? SEAGATE works perfectly. > I use cdrecord on 2.2.6-STABLE with an NCR > PCI SCSI adaptor and the Ricoh MP6200S, and it works with no errors, even for > disk-sized (650Mb) transfers. Tonight I'll try to change my AHA-1540CF to Tekram DC-390U and see what happens. ;-) > When I power up my CDRW led flashes orange, then turns green > and stays that way.

BTW Can Your send me your config files I want to compare it with my configuration, because I don't have big expirence with CDRW. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Vladimir A.
