Nothing. Well, nothing vital. You might want to do this: cd /dev ln -s scd0 cdrom1 mkdir /mnt/cdrom1 and then add an entry to /etc/fstab so that /dev/cdrom1 can be easily mounted on /mnt/cdrom1 (like /dev/cdrom on /mnt/cdrom). > - Do I need to create a second mount folder for the burner? > I already have \mnt\cdrom and > \mnt\zip100, do i also need a \mnt\cdburner or something? It doesn't really matter what you call it, just as long as it is consistent. Substitute "burner" for "cdrom1" in all occurences above, and it will still work. > - Do I need to change any modules to load the SCSI card or will > the kernel pick it up on boot up? You will need to load the driver for the scsi card. After that, any references to the /dev/scd* devices should work to automagically load the scsi cdrom drivers (sr_mod, cdrom etc). > That's pretty much it, I guess I'm basically asking how to add a > second cd drive (actually a cd burner) to a red hat linux machine. Easy, almost trivial. Hint: when the scsi driver loads, make sure that you see something like this: kernel: ahc_pci:0:16:0: Host Adapter Bios disabled.

Hope this helps. It isn't too hard to set up, the main thing is loading the right scsi driver.
