Hello everybody!
At first, i want to thank all of you for your support in the last days, while i was setting up my new notebook. The forum is a great thing. I think I have to write an howto for this notebook make after everything is done. But now, there is another important thing, i was not able to solve on my own until now:
Is there a known driver for the HL-DT-ST GWA-4080N DVD Recorder? I've browsed through linuxhardware.net and was not able to find anything, but then, I discovered, that it is possible to get the drive to work with Suse9.2

Note: The author of cdrecord should not be bothered with problems in this version.
scsidev: '0,1,0'
scsibus: 0 target: 1 lun: 0
cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open '/dev/pg1'. Cannot open SCSI driver.
cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'.
cdrecord: For possible transport specifiers try 'cdrecord dev=help'.
As far as i understand this output (not very well, actually), there is a scsi driver missing. Am i right, that dvd-recorders need some kind of a scsi emulation to work? because the recorder is an ide drive.
Btw, what's the thing about transport specifiers in the last line about?
thank you all
