HCL/CD and DVD Writer/Readers

Этот привод у меня работал в SuSE 9.2 Professional, и 9.3. Надо убедится что привод имеет корректное имя, диски в linux нумеруются a b c d соответственно первый master drive, первый slave drive, второй Master drive, второй slave drive. Убедитесь что вы не установили привод как master drive если первый диск не имеет slave-а. Если диск не определяется, попробуйте установить диск как внешний DVD в SuSE 10 OSS.

(2006/09/30) - NEC ND-3550 Tested on SUSE 10.1 and 10 Burned DVDs and CDs(although a few corrupted JPG files have resulted... Always verify your DVDs/CDs) Reading from commercial DVDs and audioCD is fine, also the copyprotected ones. --Kennneth Aar

(2006/09/03) - Tested on SuSE 10.1 with DVD+R (single layer, multisession) and standard CD-R with no problems. Commercial CD audio not tested (neither extraction nor playing). --Noelamac

Umm beg to differ.

Does NOT work at all with Linux. Tried SUSE and Fedora Core. I checked the Hardware Compatibility List for this drive, and it turns out that ALL of the low end NEC Drives are problematic with Linux. Read only. Audio CD'S don't play (known problem) nor can you ever write to this device from Linux.

For windows, it works great. 4 months of frustration...

I am going to prolly get a sony to replace this.

Nothing on newegg tells you this doesn't work with Linux.

On the NEC site at: http://www.sw.nec.co.jp/products/optical/en/ND-3550A/index.shtml you will read: required os: Windows(R) 2000, Windows(R) XP Home, Professional(SP2)

The Linux HCL at http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Hardware-HOWTO/cdrom.html says:

17.3. Notes

All CD-ROM drives should work similarly for reading data. There are various compatibility problems with audio CD playing utilities. (Especially with newer low-end NEC drives.) Some alpha drivers may not have audio support yet.

Believe it!
