trying again.

[Rick Hayner]

Hello to all.

I'm sorry if this is the wrong list to post this question to, but I
did 4 days ago, and haven't seen anything concerning my problem.

I have a Ricoh mp7120a cdrw drive.  Since it is a atapi drive, i must
use ide-scsi and sg to use it with cdrecord.  However there is a
strange problem with the audio cd players.  After issuing a command to
stop an audio cd from playing, two play commands are required to start
the cd playing again.  This doesn't happen if I use the ide-cd driver,
and point /dev/cdrom to /dev/hdc.

There is no documentation at all on ide-scsi, and I can't find any
error messages anywhere.  I have the following append command in
lilo.conf
append="hdc=ide-scsi"

If someone is working on this, or has any idea as to what's happening,
I would sure appreciate it.   I am using kernel version 2.2.19.  this
also occurred with 2.2.18.  the audio cd players return no error
messages at all.  when the first play command is issued after a stop
command, I just get the shell prompt back with nothing happening to
the cd-rw drive at all, until I ether open and close the drive, or
issue a second play command.  If I open and close the drive between
stop and play commands, it plays the cd every time.

Thanks.
