The OP is using RH9 so is more than likely to be using 2.4 kernel

Well, that blows. Redhat 9's been EOLed for years now. ide-scsi was
always a bit of a pain to get working right, but I remember how to do
it.

moved my CD/RW to the secondary master position. The OS detects it as
"hdc". I can still playback DVDs and read data CDs without problems.

And when you mount a data CD, are you mounting /dev/scd0 or /dev/hdc ?
If the latter, cdrecord won't work at all until you fix your ide-scsi
emulation.

Its just trying to perform a burn where things are hosed.

Has ide-scsi been modprobed? Check with lsmod. If it hasn't been
modprobed, modprobe it. Do you have "hdc=ide-scsi" in the kernel
command line? If not, and you have ide-cd loaded, then ide-cd will grab
the CD-RW and *not let go*. This will prevent you from using cdrecord
and cdrdao (maybe cdparanoia too). Best bet is to go in to
/lib/modules/2.4* and rm -f all instances of ide-cd, so it *can't* get
loaded, but that may be too much....

Yeah, I know RH9(2.4.20-8) is old but I need to stay there because of
another product I use for work that requires this platform.

This product is *seriously* broken if it depends on a particular version
of a particular distro. Name it so that other people can avoid it.
