CD-ROM

[Tom Allison <tallison@tacocat.net>]

OK, I'm getting more than a little frustrated.

I am constantly getting CD-Record errors when I try to create ANY kind of CD.

Can someone please provide any suggestions on what to check/test/do.

It worked very nicely for a long time when I was under stable.
It's been many months since I've tried it and I honestly can't say what might 
have caused it to quit working.

But this is getting stupid.  I have an entire trashcan full of coasters.

Configuration:
I have a CD-R/RW (Ricoh MP7040A), a CD-ROM and a Parallel Port Zip 250 drive 
(another scsi-emulation device)

HELP!
