But using atacontrol to reset the channel that the drive is on seems to return it to a working state. Trying to reset the device doesn't fix it (maybe it locks up the whole channel?). I'v managed to get the drive working with cdrecord, it still reports device errors to the console and seems slower than it should be, but it *does* produce readable dvds, which is the main thing! However growisofs (well mkisofs part) won't write files over 2gb? But I'v seen single archives written to span the whole dvd.. Do you need to use -iso-level 3 or 4 to get this functionality? How well supported is reading from disks created with level 4? (level 4 equates to ISO-9660:1999 or version 2 according to the man page). Cheers.
