I very recently purchased and installed an AOpen
CRW2040 drive (IDE, using scsi emulation) in my
computer. read-cd appears to always work, but 50-60% of
the time I'd get this kind of error when I attempted to
write:

thulcandra# cdrdao write --device 0,0,0 --driver

current driver tables.

Using --force does not fix the problem... it errors out
again a second or so later.

Switching the drive to be the master on the secondary
IDE controller instead of the slave (my other drive's
no longer connected) may have made the problem a little
more infrequent, but I'm definitely still getting it.
The only two things that occur to me as possible causes
for this are 1) the obvious: the driver's not working
right 2) there's something wrong with my hardware. For
my computer's sake, I hope it's the first :-)

BTW, I'm using the generic-mmc driver, which is the
only one that works at all...

Let me know if I can provide any more information other
than the basic error message.

    I guess it would help if I mentioned that I'm running kernel
    2.4.16 and Debian/testing on a PII 233
