Hello!
I am planning to buy an *IDE* CD Writer - that works on Linux. I did some homework - saw the XCDRoast page and the ILUG archives for past queries. Well, making changes to fstab and lilo are OK with me but installing modules is something I haven't done.
Could someone suggest a readily available (in Bombay) IDE CD Writer that is *known* to work well under Linux? Please add tips - they'll certainly help :).
Another request - has anyone got An Epson Stylus Color 480 Printer working on any distribution / version of linux? Please tell me which one and how.
Thanks :)
KG

Almost any recent cdwriter will work in linux. I think budget would be a deciding factor. And even if it is an ide cdwriter you will *have* to use it under scsi-emulation. It's all in the docs. RTFM :-)

I use the Samsung Combo dvd/cdrw. No hassles *except* that you cannot write multisession Cds if you are using kernel 2.4.x (and maybe 2.5.x). It is a problem w/ cdrecord which is used as a backend by both xcdroast as well as gcombust.

sorry can't help you here.

Sharukh.
