Problem with configure HP 820 Rewriter (Antonio Trujillo Carmona)
Cannot install SCSI card supplied with HP m820e (Stefan Sitter)
It is "supported" (Fortunato Navarro)

Thank you Fortunato:
This sounds like good news. I'll get the ninja driver package and try. I can confirm Antonio's report that the HP m820e works with a "normal" SCSI adapter. So far, I tried this from an old box (486 CPU, 50MHz, therefore only double speed because of buffer underrun with quadruple speed; Adaptec 1542C SCSI adapter; Kernel version 2.0.36). The HP writer was the sole SCSI device connected. I was able to use CDR and CDRW media, both with cdrecord and cdrdao. I have not yet tried 700MB CD-R media. I had asked the German HP support about the HP m820e, and they said that HP themselves do not support Linux and they cannot guarantee that third-party solutions have the full functionality because they have not been provided by HP ;-). They also said that the PCMCIA adapter was NOT an SCSI adaptor but something "separate". Also, media with more than normal capacity were not supported:-(
They would offer some solutions at:
http://www2.hp.com/cposupport/
(there they say that 80min media ARE supported:-)
However, I do not find any data about the PCMCIA adaptor there. -Stefan
