Hello List,
I would like to know, if in general nowadays the DVD/CDRW drives on laptops 
are supported by cdrecord and if getting them to work is the same as getting 
a standard drive to work on a desktop PC. (I mean ide-scsi emulation, or even 
better true scsi).

Thanks
Matej
 

Most laptop combo drives (i.e. DVD-Rom/CD-R/W) are ide devices, 
selecting scsi emulation in the the kernel config (or loading the 
modules) is usually all that is needed to get this working.
My Thinkpad X23 with a attached media slice and combo dvd-rom cr-r/w 
works fine.
