Well, I had been looking at this: hda: Maxtor 91296D6, ATA DISK drive hdb: WDC WD800BB-00CAA1, ATA DISK drive hdc: TOSHIBA DVD-ROM SD-M1202, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive hdd: IOMEGA ZIP 100 ATAPI, ATAPI FLOPPY drive But then I checked /etc/fstab (because I knew I could moutn data cds on /cdrom) and I found this: #/dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noauto 0 0 /dev/sr0 /cdrom iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noauto 0 0 So I went back to dmesg and found this: scsi0 : SCSI host adapter emulation for IDE ATAPI devices Vendor: IOMEGA Model: ZIP 100 Rev: 14.A Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 00 Vendor: TOSHIBA Model: DVD-ROM SD-M1202 Rev: 1020 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 A quick adjustment of the permissions on /dev/sr0, and I'm listening to a cd. Thanks.
