Momorex CD-ReWritable Drive

Hi Bryce
Thanks for the info on the possibility that it should work.

The CD-RW drive is recognized by SuSE 8.0 as:
Device: Memorex 48MAXX 1248AJ
Device name: /dev/hdc
Added: append=" hdc=ide-scsi" to lilo.conf
Need to add something to /etc/fstab to go along with:
/dev/cdrom      /media/cdrom    auto    ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0
since this is my original CD-ROM which is /dev/hdd.
Should it look something like this:
/dev/cdrw      /media/cdrw   auto    rw,noauto,user,exec 0 0
With /dev/cdrw -> /dev/hdc

When I run:
# insmod ide-scsi
Using /lib/modules/2.4.18-4GB/kernel/drivers/scsi/ide-scsi.o
# cdrecord --scanbus
