Hi,
I have a an usb cd writer, there are 2 HD disks ( running mepis 3.3.1 debian based ) on the machine ( ide and scsi ).
on other machine with only ide, the usb cdwriter is detected as /dev/scd0, but not detected on my machine ( perhaps conflict with sda ???)

I have also a problem with flah usb ( with ide only machine the flash is /dev/sda ) but now what is the device ?

how to find out them?

thanks
bela
best regards

have a look in /proc/scsi or /proc/usb
