Is this possible?

invsim, when you hooked up your GDROM to a regular scsi on a pc, does it also actually appear as a disk drive? (like in XP, do you get a drive icon for it in "my computer" ?, or under linux can you mount it? )

No, because it's not a SCSI drive all they way. Under XP it identifies itself as "LZ9115H PTK060X CdRom Device" in device manager, but no drive letter. Tried briefly under linux, but not too familiar with the new udev stuff..

Did you try manually assigning a drive letter in Computer Management?

invzim what scsi card and scsi bus speeds/settings are you using?

I'm trying with an Adaptec 29160N PCI Ultra 160 and I can't even get as far as you with the GDROM drive being recognised.

The only way I know the scsi card even thinks anything is plugged in at all on the scsi bus is that when I boot the pc, the scsi card takes ages to attempt to initialise and eventually fails with a SCSI identity request timeout message before the PC will get into loading windows. It doesn't do that without the gdrom drive plugged into the scsi.
