Thanks, John. The driver is recognised alright with cdrecord -scanbus and I can do a dummy run satisfactorily with a CD-R disk in the drive, also cdrecord writes stuff out through the drive quite happily to a (Toshiba) CD-RW disk. I forgot to mention that the same CD-R disks can be written to (after cdrecord has refused) by the drive in Win'98 (bah!).
