Where did you took 3.01? Is this available from ArcaNoae repositories only? Access to non-arca users is closed?
It is on the ISO, here, J:\CID\SERVER\RPM\LOCALREP\cdrtools-3.01.1-1.oc00.i386.rpm on a recent beta version.
Thanks Dave for the info.
Found it on the disk and installed it.
To begin, I tested it with DVD Toys. The USB device was now recognized, whereas, with the ArcaOS 5.02 driver it was not. I tried to unpack the iso to the writer, but it was not allowed. It gave me an error message about the CDR Tools not being compiled by Froloff, it was not safe to proceed and would not let me go any further.
Next, I tried it with RSJ writer. As Neil stated earlier, RSJ cannot find the writer when DVD Toys is installed. Uninstalled DVD Toys and tried RSJ again. Sure enough, the USB DVD writer was recognized and worked as it should.
Note: this is with cdrtools-3.01.1-1.oc00.i386.rpm installed. Neil is right. RSJ cannot find the drive so long as DVD Toys is installed. I now believe, RSJ may have worked with the drivers that came with ArcaOS 5.02. DVD Toys would not let it recognize the drive. It will require me to install 5.02 again to test.
OK I reinstalled Arca0s 5.02 and installed just RSJ writer. The USB writer worked fine with the drivers included with version 5.02.
Update: I was mistaken. The driver appears to work with RSJ, but when finished nothing is written to the DVD. It is bank. Did this several times. So one diffinitely needs the cdrtools-3.01.1-1.oc00.i386.rpm for USB to work properly.There was one other difference I noted. DVD Toys was unable to see the USB drive with the driver that came with version 5.02. With cdrtools-3.01.1-1.oc00.i386, DVD Toys was able to see the USB drive, but would not allow one to use it due to the above reason stated. It seems to me, somehow adding that this driver was compiled by Froloff and DVD Toys may work with this program. Now if one could only figure out why RSJ writer will not work with DVD Toys installed.
