[MLUG - DISCUSSION] detection of CD-RW

[Mike Miller <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

I wasn't following the "cd-r doesn't get detected" thread on the mlug
member list, but I doubt the problem I'm having was addressed there.  My
issue is a computer hardware problem, not a Linux problem, so I'm putting
it on this list.

I have a problem with my SCSI CD-RW.  I think (pretty sure) it's working
like this:  If I reboot my computer, the SCSI card does not detect the
CD-RW and I can't access it at all while the system is up.  If I turn the
computer off, wait five minutes, and turn it back on, the SCSI card
detects the CD-RW, and everything works.  When the SCSI card does not
detect the CD-RW, it still properly detects the other SCSI device on the
system (external ZIP).

Therefore, it doesn't seem like the SCSI card is the problem, so it's
probably the CD-RW or the SCSI cable.  Of course, the problem it might be
related to temperature.

Has anyone had a similar problem?  Know of any way to fix it or test for
the source of the problem?

TIA.

Mike
