RE: [Plug] Micro Solutions CD Writer


WRT: Getting it working there are a few things you will want to check....

1. Do you have a proper cable?  If the cable is not IEEE certified, it may
have issues, backpack devices are VERY picky about this.  Also, make sure it
is the cable it wants.  some have pins switched and the like.

2.  Ensure the proper Parallel port is setup ecp/epp/bi-directional, etc.
Another grand issue I have seen screw things up.

Good luck...

And to all on the list, I am pretty much a lurker, but have posted once or
twice... prolly see more of me in the future (maybe even at a non-wednedsday
meeting ;)... But to all, I wish you:

Anyone use a Micro Solutions "Backpack" CD Writer with Linux?  It
connects on the parallel port.  From what I can tell it seems to not be
supported.   Not that I have not been able to get it to work under Win
98.
