I have the same CDRW device. I have compiled all of the modules, can mount CDs and read. But
I'm lost when it comes to writting CD-Rs with cdrecord. It wants to use SCSI device
addresses. My CDRW is an IDE/ATAPI device.  I have the ide-scsi module loaded so it will
treat is as a SCSI device. But how do I determine the SCSI address? the "cdrecord -scanbus"
only shows my DAT device.
