I recently installed a second DVD+RW device on my on Mandrake 9.1 box
and now the original CD-RW is no longer using SCSI emulation.
Whenever I use K3B I get the following error message.

The configured version of cdrdao does not support writing to ATAPI devices
without SCSI emulation and there is at least one writer in your system not
configured to use SCSI emulation. Solution: The best and recommended
solution is to enable ide-scsi (SCSI emulation) for all writer devices.
This way you won't have any problems. Or you install (or select as the
default) a more recent version of cdrdao.

I can record just fine using the new DVD+RW drive. I can even play/read
CD's from the original CD-RW - I just can't get the box to see it as a
recorder.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this problem?
I would appreciate any help or text of wisdom :-)
