Hi,

I tried cdrdao-1.1.7 with my Plextor PX-4012TA CD-RW. I must say I never managed to get this drive working with cdrdao (and it seem to be the case off all plextor cd-rw user since 24x model !).
For example, when I try to read toc :

---
[on1mgl@room on1mgl]$ cdrdao read-toc --device 1,3,0 test.toc
Cdrdao version 1.1.7 - (C) Andreas Mueller <andreas@daneb.de>
  SCSI interface library - (C) Joerg Schilling
  Paranoia DAE library - (C) Monty

Check http://cdrdao.sourceforge.net/drives.html#dt for current driver tables.

Using libscg version 'andreas-0.5-UNIXWARE_Patch'

1,3,0: PLEXTOR CD-R   PX-W4012A Rev: 1.02
Using driver: Generic SCSI-3/MMC - Version 2.0 (options 0x0010)

Reading toc data...

It simply doesn't end !!! The drive is silent, the orange led stays on (busy state). This doesn't crash my computer or lock my bus.

Here is what I have in my kernel log :

Oct 26 13:22:02 room hdd: lost interrupt
Oct 26 13:22:02 room hdd: lost interrupt
Oct 26 13:22:02 room hdd: lost interrupt
Oct 26 13:22:02 room hdd: lost interrupt
Oct 26 13:22:02 room hdd: lost interrupt

And so on...

I'm using Mandrake 9.0, kernel 2.4.19.

Please help,

Laurent
