So the SCSI generic (sg) device doesn't handle USB CDROM "scsi devices"? Do
you see the /dev/sda CDROM device when you plug it in? If so, does "modprobe
sg" fix the problem? You're really interested in /dev/sg0 and how the sg
driver sees/treats the "virtual SCSI devices".
I really haven't had the chance to play with a USB CDR drive yet (exclusively
SCSI/IDE so far)., but I'd really like to get a USB/Firewire burner at some
point.
