Strange that the drive can work OK sometimes and not others.
Thanks for the report.

I've just installed xcdroast 0.98alpha15. It started up fine, took a
while looking for devices, made some ratcheting noises on at least one
of them, and then provided this list:
Starting to scan for devices...
[ATA:1,0,0] SAMSUNG CD-R/RW SW-252S R951
[ATA:1,1,0] SAMSUNG DVD-ROM SD-604 1.0
[ATAPI:0,0,0] SAMSUNG CD-R/RW SW-252S R951
[ATAPI:0,1,0] SAMSUNG DVD-ROM SD-604 1.0
Scan finished.
I guess that means that it found what it needed. I'll have to read up on
the difference between ATA and ATAPI.
Meanwhile, I'll see if I can find an LP I need on a CD to test it.
