did you check on the cdrecord homepage? it has a listing of compadible drives..i have a Matshita CW-7502B and it works perfectly in linux..i have never used it in any other OS. 4X burns while compiling a kernel and bzipping files..no problem..never ever had a buffer underrun.
see http://www.fokus.gmd.de/research/cc/glone/employees/joerg.schilling/private/cdwriters-1.8.html if you have kernel 2.2 you can see the model# by cat /proc/scsi/scsi in kernel2.0 its probably cat /proc/scsi note that XCDRoast(what i use too) comes with its own version of cdrecord(an older one) so you may want to try to replace it with the latest version IF the drive is supported..if not ask the cdrecord author maybe it will be supported soon. i also have burned many many cds using CDRWin under wine in linux as well, always worked perfectly. nate On Wed, 29 Dec 1999, Rob Rati wrote: ratirh >I just got the new Yamaha 6x4x16x CD-RW and can't seem to burn a CD.
