[Aurora-sparc-user] Aurora 2.99 on Ultra 60 with Yamaha SCSI CDRW

[mat h]

$man cdrecord

I don't mean to be glib, but it really is the best way. Check dmesg | grep -i cd and do all the sensible command line research and diagnosis first, especially cdrecord -scanbus and then with checkdrive and driveropts=help once you've confirmed it's address.

I've got an admittedly pretty crappy USB CD writer hanging off my Ultra60 that doesn't seem to like 2.99 much, although it's worked in previous releases.

Cheers.
