I would think that most any of them would work. You may have to do a kernel recompile to enable ide=scsi and set it up in lilo or grub. But the main thing about getting a new CDRW is to check the buffer size. Most of the drives have a 2 or 4 MB buffer size. Some have an 8MB or larger. The Larger the buffer the better. Helps prevent coasters and the larger buffered CDRW's seem to burn faster.
