cdrecord and USB YAMAHA CRW3200E

[Alberto Bolchini <alberto@melloni49.it>]

Hi all,
surely a newbie question here.
I borrowed a USB cd writer -- a YAMAHA CRW3200E -- from a friend to do some
backups, but I cannot figure out how to exactly make it run as cdrecord
complains about not "seeing" it (I guess):

~# cdrecord -scanbus
Cdrecord 2.0 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2002 Jörg Schilling
cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open '/dev/pg*'. Cannot open
SCSI driver.
cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure you are
root.
cdrecord: For possible transport specifiers try 'cdrecord dev=help'.

The usb storage seems to work:
$ cat /proc/scsi/scsi
Attached devices:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
  Vendor: YAMAHA   Model: CRW3200E         Rev: 1.0d
  Type:   CD-ROM                           ANSI SCSI revision: 02

Any suggestion?
Thanx,

a.
