    This is to get older Type-4 CD-R drives to show in a PNP OS

    These devices are usually scsi. Adaptec cards won't be detected in vista
    (don't know about windows 7) , but you can manually select the
    adaptec aic-7870 (emulated) driver and old cards will work fine.

    This applies to sony psx dev drives and sega saturn dev drives and others.

    WORM Device Recognition The following devices are only connected to the PC Win 2k/XP/vista/win7 will not be recognized by the compatible software.

    SCSI WORM Device (YAMAHA CDR100, KODAK PCD225, etc ...)
    SCSI Other Device (SONY CDW-900E)


    Select the driver for this device - Pick driver manually
    Other devices - (CD standard-ROM) and choose.
    Continue to ignore the warning.

    CDU920S work as described above is not even recognized by the WORM Device is essentially unnecessary.
    Similar work from the Device Manager and if an unknown device.
    Late CDU920S, CDU924S, CDU948S jumper selectable for Device Type.
    CDU920S year remains unchangeable WORM.
    920S (late) set / 924S/948S Jumper
    Device Type - CD on Open-ROM, WORM in short
    PREVENT / ALLOW-discharge load caddy inserted in Open, available at short You can try out devices and allocated in that case supports Win9x + CDR100. I can not assign a drive letter, or rather increased stability.
    May use the following software
    CDRWIN
    (CDU920S/924S/948S, CDR100, CDW-900E, General Systems Kodak PCD, etc ...)
    Nero6
    (General System CDU)
    WinCDR5 / 6
    (CDU920S/924S/948S, CDR100/CDW-900E, etc ...)
    Easy CD Creator
    (General system CDU, XR-W1001, General Systems Kodak PCD)
    Other software or omitted in performance or usability 悪Katsu de minor.
    When using the CDW in WinCDR6-900E, CD-backup feature is disabled (for five unconfirmed)
    PMCD write capability from 6 to 5 if it be particular about such have been omitted.

    Use Linux!

    (SCSI only gets better and better in later kernels, heck there is some pretty obscure drivers that windows has lost years ago that modern kernels can still have!)

    Unless these are Magneto-Optical drives you're talking about (?)

    if these are 12CM Compact Disc Recordable/Rewritable then its 100% supported.

    Use a reliable Live-CD and check - I'd bet you its going to work "out-of-the-box".

    Try:

    You've tried force installing the Windows 7 / Server 2008 Drivers ?

    e.g. right clicking the .inf file - and using the "install" option, after unpacking drivers.


    Actually this page:

    http://ask.adaptec.com/scripts/adaptec_tic.cfg/php.exe/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=14790

    Seems to be a landmine field of missing drivers -- I'd think the best option is to downgrade to XP or update to Server 2008.

    Give it a try with linux and Wine, if wine doesn't do the trick use a virtual pc, Virtualbox and VMware works awesome, i've managed to flash firmware on several phones with Virtualbox (the non-OSE version) in case it still wont work, use the apps on windows and burn the data on linux, if still wont do the trink, get an old PC, they're usually free, but i guess with linux it'll do, i'm actually using a SCSI CD Writer Drive, for burning audio discs at 1x real, works like a charm on k3b.
