You can ignore that last email i got it to work. How? instead of dev=15,2,0 
i used dev=/dev/rcd1d. I still have some questions. First, Why did using the 
scsi device numbers for the device work with my other CDRW drive and fail 
with the one i just installed? Also, Before i posted the last email, i tried 
using dev=/dev/rcd1a and that failed. What is the difference between the cd 
device suffix a and d and what are their respective purposes? Also, What is 
the difference between using the r prefix on devices, such as /dev/rcd1d 
instead of /dev/cd1d? (i've noticed this on many other devices in NetBSD and 
i never noticed any difference in operation, i've been using the r 
interchangably) Thanks a lot for the anticipated answers!
