IDE CD Burner

I've got an IDE CD burner. It's configured, working as a CD-ROM drive, ok... I just need to know what's the command I have to launch to burn the .iso file I've got. I know that cdrecord should be a choice, but I don't know the parameter for IDE drives, just for SCSI.

Help!

for starters you need to set up SCSI emulation for your device. Then you use the same commands on the device.

http://www.linux.no/biblioteket/HOWTO/CD-Writing-HOWTO-1.html Has good info, chapter 2 tells you all you need.

Gah, that was meant as an answer.

Sorry, not what I expected. I've heard SCSI emulation is deprecated now. ATAPI devices can already understand the SCSI protocol.

Nope, they cannot. They still need an aspi abstraction layer.

the phrase is "The ATAPI devices can understand the SCSI protocol, after it is converted trough the scsi abstraction layer"

Ok, unfortunatelly I had to burn those CDs really quick so I used another machine with Slackware 4.0 and a SCSI burner.

Thanks anyway, place an answer and I'll give you the points.
