Hi Alvin, Thanks for your advice.

Several things have changed with cdrecord lately. The latest versions of cdrecord, however, support writing to IDE/ATAPI cd writers directly using the ATAPI system. 'man cdrecord' does not help much. # cdrecord -scanbus did not generate the needed information. I have to use following command instead # cdrecord dev=ATAPI -scanbus Cdrecord-Clone 2.01a24 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2004 J\x{FFFD}rg Schilling scsidev: 'ATAPI' devname: 'ATAPI' scsibus: -2 target: -2 lun: -2 Warning: Using ATA Packet interface.
