[ILUG] RE: Tanberg drive woes...

[Wynne, Conor]

	Hi all,

	Well it works again...????

	# cat /proc/scsi/scsi 
	-> sees the drive and the other devices as it always did even when it didn't!

	So I ran 
	# cdrecord -scanbus 
	-> which reported the drive cool too.

	So I ran 
	# mt status

	lo and behold, it decided to co-operate. Tried me wee script and works. I am aghast. What the fsck? Ideas anyone?

	CW
