    Hmm. That's odd. I was looking at the previous output you posted from cdrecord --scanbus (scsibus1:1,0,0 100), but as Stephen has noted, try changing your entry in /etc/fstab to scd0.

    I changed /dev/scd1 to /dev/scd0 in /etc/fstab shut down restarted
    mount /cdrom1 mounts the cd which is in the ide-cdrom, not the usb2 cd-rw
    Same result using console or icon I created.

    Shouldn't I see a reference to the usb2 cd-rw when I enter
    KDE Control Center > Information > USB Devices?
    I only see the hubs.
    I do see the usb2 cd-rw with KDE Control Center > Information > SCSI

    It may think it's a HD can't hurt trying to mount it as /dev/sda.

    Tried /dev/sda then /dev/sda1 --- msgs say not valid block device

    I may try reinstall with cd-rw on, altho that requirement defeats the value of usb.

    I sure would like to know if other users with usb show attached usb devices (other than root hub) when they enter:
    KDE Control Center > Information > USB Devices
    I do not.

    Did a reinstall with the usb2 cd-rw turned on.
    Didn't solve the problem.
    Thanks for all your suggestions.

    bilzer,

    Sorry about this. I think we are a bit miffed also. If you were able to get this device to work from the cd, then keep trying. Perhaps it's something simple that we are overlooking. Best of luck.

    :P :P SUCCESS!
    I have 4 ports on the usb2 card. Thought I had tested them all but that got lost in testing various configurations of /etc/fstab - this one works now:
    /dev/scd1 /mnt/cdrom1 auto defaults,ro,user,noexec,noauto 0 0
    along with /mnt/cdrom1
    Also, the device now shows up in KDE Control Center > Information > USB devices.
    Thanks again for your help.

    Congrats. Glad you got it working. In the long run this whole excersice will prove benificial because you will have learned a bit more about how Debian opperates on your system. Again, congrats and your persistance paid off.
