you're in for a wild ride.
this device is supported under the paride (parallel ide) driver as an HP7110
(I think) and requires at least two more modules to run which may or may not
be epat.o and pf.o
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/paride.txt
is where you need to be.
this device is not scsi, not ide, not usb, nor any other 'standard' dev but
will be (finally) loaded on (something like) /dev/pg0 (parallel general scsi)
It's an awful document to read, but basically it's telling you that you need
paride.o # the core module
<some chip driver>.o (probably epat)
scsi-general (pg.o) or hard disk (pcd.o)
bulk-storage->ls120->parallel, on the site below, gives you a good indication
of the steps required to load this animal. It's not of course the same, you
will have to do your homework.
Linux incidentally does not distinguish between cd-r and cd-rw, the burning
application of course does, but the OS does not. In order for it to be a
burnable cd write, you will have to use to pg.o module to phool it into being
a scsi device.
