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!).
