	Here is the exact command I send taken from a script that
works on the one system that now does record

mkisofs -l -R -q /home/martin/dsp |cdrecord -v -dev=0,0,0 -dummy  -

	The dummy flag just makes it run without actually turning
on the laser for writing.  The working system goes through all
the steps while the system still having problems complains about
/dev/pg0 and gives up.

scsidev: '0,0,0'
scsibus: 0 target: 0 lun: 0
cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open '/dev/pg0'. Cannot open SCSI driver.
cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure you are root.

	I also read a very good followup question on this list.
I forgot to mention all the important details.

	First, the output of the tests:

cat /proc/scsi/scsi
