It's configured both ways because so far to burn in linux you have to scsi
emulate AFAIK. put a premade cd into the drive .go into the GUI which results
from clicking on the 2 file folder-icon in the bottom of your screen. go up
one level. click on the cdrom labelled icon which doesn't have a lock on
it...what happens? if you get a directory listing of the contents, then what
you really want to know is how to configure a given software program
to burn with cuz the hardware part is already ok.
