Well done, Brian. This is the sort of thing we need collected somewhere - a
concise ultra-mini how-to that just tells you what you need to know to do
it, without having to sort through pages of info, but still points you to
the bigger documents if you need more info.

 To use one of these puppies under Linux, enable SCSI emulation.

 See the cd-writer HOWTO.

 Short story:

 /etc/lilo:  append="hdc=ide-scsi"
 - or -
 build a kernel with ide-scsi support built in.

 rm /dev/cdrom
 ln -s /dev/cdrom /dev/scd0

 Now use cdrecord with unit 0,0.

 [This assumes you have only the CD-R drive; if you have both, then
 ln -s /dev/cdrw /dev/scd0 and don't break the /dev/cdrom link.]

I think that one easy way to use an IDE CD-RW is doing the scsi emulation. In the
sources of the x-cdroast (www.xcdroast.org) there's a file README.Atapi where
explain a way to configure it. I use it for my cdrom Atapi and for all the
programs, and if I make a "cat /proc/scsi/scsi" it shows as my cdrom was and
scsi.
I'm sure that the references that RRPotratz have wrotten are very useful. Not for
your problem explicity, but interesting in general about it, I would only add the
wonderful generic faq about CD-R/CD-RW
www.fadden.com/cdrfaq. There's a lot of information about cdr. It explain a lot
of things.
