[Linux-parport] backpack cd-rewriter, Model 190127, series 6 driver ( HELP, I'm going nutz )

[louis gonzales]

Hello everyone.  I'm new to the list, but not new to the archives. 
I've done multiple searches on google and I've just got to break down.
Linux Version:  RedHat 9.0
Kernel:  2.4.20-6    x86

pg: pg version 1.02, major 97
pg0: Sharing parport0 at 0x378
pg0: BACKPACK Protocol Driver V2.0.2ac
pg0: Copyright 2001 by Micro Solutions, Inc., DeKalb IL.
pg0: BACKPACK 2.0.2ac, Micro Solutions BACKPACK Drive at 0x378
pg0: Unit: 44 Mode:1 (8-bit) Delay 0
pg: No ATAPI device detected
pcd: pcd version 1.07, major 46, nice 0

pcd0: BACKPACK 2.0.2ac, Micro Solutions BACKPACK Drive at 0x378
pcd0: Unit: 44 Mode:1 (8-bit) Delay 0
pcd0: identify before command: alt=0xa0 stat=0x0 err=0x101 loop=160001 phase=1
pcd0: Request sense before command: alt=0xa0 stat=0x0 err=0x101
loop=160001 phase=1

These are the common types of errors I get when trying to load pg -
for cd-r - or pcd - for cd-rom only.  Currently I've got the pcd
module loaded, but the module is listed with "lsmod" as (unitialized).
 I really want to get this thing working, so I can move on to BIGGER
and BETTER things.  Thanks for any help in advance!!!
