I'll be getting a new Sony DRX 820UL/T drive in within the next
week. Does anyone here have any experience getting it to work
(obviously I mean with debian)?


I looked up the specs, that looks like a nice drive.

    Yeah, to me too; and it does look like the r/rw pieces may work 
okay. However, I haven't seen whether the ram features work in linux. Do 
you know what are the relevant drivers involved for DVD-RAM to work?


Not the same drive, but I use DVD-Ram disks in a LG-GSA4163B.  I've even 
formatted them with an ext3 partition as I found the UDF filesystem kept 
getting corrupted.

It's unfortunate that none of the resellers, nor Sony, list which 
Linux version started support for that drive. The two retailers I 
checked that listed Windows versions, Mac versions, and a contact 
address have received an email from me asking why they don't list 
which Linux kernel (ie: Linux 2.4.19 or later) versions support the 
drive.

"How can I order hardware if I don't know if it will run on my system?"

Just make sure, if it doesn't work, that you return it for a FULL 
refund and tell them why.
