[Dvdrtools-users] what happened to dev=ATAPI: ?

[Larry Siden]

I recently recplaced cdrtools with dvdrtools in order to write DVD
images.  However, I can't seem to specify the drive anymore.  With
cdrtools, I used to be able to type "cdrecord -dao dev=ATAPI:0,0,0
...", but not anymore.  When I try "dvdrecord -dao dev=ATAPI:0,0,0
..." it says

...
Based on:
Cdrecord 1.11a15 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2001 J\uffffrg Schilling
scsidev: 'ATAPI:0,0,0'
devname: 'ATAPI'
scsibus: 0 target: 0 lun: 0
dvdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open 'ATAPI'. Cannot open

dvdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure you are root.

Okay, so I tried "cdrecord -scanbus".  It shows:

Great!  It found my scanner.  But if I try "cdrecord -scanbus
dev=ATAPI:", I get:

Cdrecord 1.11a15 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2001 J\uffffrg Schilling

What happened to "dev=ATAPI:0,0,0" (where cdrecord used to find my device)?
