firewire cd-rw

[Mark T. Valites]

I'd like to share an sharp-looking site with some excellent information
for yd/ ppc users.  I originally found it when searching the archives for
how to burn using an external firewire drive.  (It's in the italics at
this url:

The url with the good info is at:

Perhaps I was thinking too much, but since I didn't see any firewire-scsi
emulation in the kernel config, I didn't think I'd have too much luck
getting cdrecord --scanbus to pick up the cd-rw.  Load three modules
(iee1394, ohci1394 & sbp2) & it just goes.  I didn't even have ide-scsi as
a module (does yd-2.2's 2.4.18-0.9a have it statically built?)

Now I just have eclipt roaster to install & I'll be happy as hell.
(ftp://eclipt.uni-klu.ac.at/pub/projects/eroaster)
If you burn in linux, you need this program.

Thanks for the excellent site Neill!!
