Hello, Everyone :) I have been following this specific thread, and this general subject, with great interest, since I have had the same problem and am interested in it's solution. First of all, here is some proof that the drive Does exist: (I've uploaded a screenshot of the output of the "usbview" command because I couldn't figure out how to copy and paste from the "usbview" browser :) http://www.faith4miracle.org/iomega-usbview.jpg Here is the output of "cdrecord -scanbus": Cdrecord-Clone 2.01a27-dvd (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2004 Jörg Schilling Note: This version is an unofficial (modified) version with DVD support Note: and therefore may have bugs that are not present in the original.

I don't in any way deny the reality of your statement as contained in the following quotation: > But you don't need sg to rip from USB.... > Yes I know I sound like a broken record. So I assume that I am probably doing something wrong. The command that I used to try to rip from the above mentioned Iomega external CDRW drive is the same one that still works perfectly under Fedora Core 1. To clarify, I am running FC1 and FC2TR3 on the same box, with the same Iomega drive plugged into the same USB2 port, ripping does work under FC1, and it Does Not work under FC2TR3. In closing, I truly believe that maybe I am doing something wrong, and that maybe something has changed about the way I'm supposed to rip CD's under FC2TR3. If that is the case, I'd love to know what to do so I can make it work :) If I have left out any necessary information, please let me know. Have a Great Day :) Steven P. Ulrick OOops, Just saw this at the beginning of the output of "cdrecord -scanbus": scsidev: 'ATA' devname: 'ATA' scsibus: -2 target: -2 lun: -2 For all I know, it might be meaningless, but I'm not an expert :)
