     No problem, ask away.  I'll learn something most likely.
 
>is your system only SCSI and has no EIDE controller?

     1. Yes, my system is all SCSI.
     2. Well, the EIDE controller(s) have been disabled in
        the motherboard BIOS.
     3. I bought the Acard 7720 SCSI2IDE converter:
        a. it looked easier to deal with than rewiring
           my drives with an IDE cable
        b. I was ignorant and afraid of what all would
           be involved to get an IDE connection working
           (ie device ID mechanism  1,0,0)

     Yes, I know.  I NEVER do things the normal way!

     Yes, that is what I am trying to start to educate myself about.  I
just discovered that I have DVDDAO 1.1.2.  I just made a directory for it,
unzip the archive, have copied and
renamed the "readme" file and am preparing to print it out.

     Here are a couple of ERROR logs from CDRecord trying
to work with the Sony DRU-7720A DVD drive.
