Just out of curiosity, have you tried setting it up using ide-scsi
and all that? I use a SCSI CDRW myself, so I can't be much help.
IIRC, though, at least in previous versions of Mandrake (and RedHat)
you needed to load the ide-scsi module as well as adding
'append="hdX=ide-scsi"' to your lilo.conf in order to get an IDE
CDR/RW to work in Linux.
