After doing the below I can mount & read CD's so I believe I'm doing it right. (I put /dev/pcd0 /cdrom iso9660 etc in /etc/fstab). In full distros cdrecord -scanbus includes scsibus 1 as well as 0. Not sure what has been cut to make this happen, but I'd love to have it back!

In DSL:

Perhaps you need to mknod the parallel port devices first, as described here for a different type of parallel port drive. Keep in mind that DSL is based on KNOPPIX 3.4

You will most likely need to either "Upgrade to GNU utilities" or download and install the much smaller coreutils.uci from the MyDSL repository in order to get the "mknod" program installed.

Thank you chagger01

That works perfectly. I'm now making DSL the only operating system on this old 'puter. It now does everything I need here.

DSL rocks!
