Okay, quiet a lot of stuff in here. I didn't burn any CDs until now so I
don't know if cdrecord works but I wanted to make this work the next days so
I will see. Until now under Linux I just access the CDROM (it's a DVD writer
to be more precise) so I think it's not working under the generic SCSI
driver, by the way yes I use Linux.
Okay, thanks for the answer and I will try it.
