https://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1028Ok, can you tell us the model as well as the firmware rev from Windows??? HP has this habit of reissuing and revising firmware patches for older burners\writer\readers. I had an 8100i a while back, that had been firmware revised to be mmc2 compatible, and later a 9100n that I could burn to as a generic mmc2 and which no specific driver was known for in the hardware list. In quite a few cases, HP has had various others private label things for them. Most of the 9000 series responds to mmc2 compatible commands except where a firmware flash build error or burn error occurred. I ignored such as an analyst, as they met the base specs for mmc2 close to standard enough to be group-classed as mmc2 or mmc3 compatible.

Connected on the second IDE plug, as a slave. It is an Hewlett Packard one, and
I can mount it.
what kind of information do you need?

Both Stomp Click-N-Burn 2.0, based on licensed Veritas algorithms, and Easy CD Creator can burn to them, and Linux could also do so at about 1\2 rated capacity and ran them at full rotational speed at which speed they vibrated the computer case quite loudly. As Veritas knows very well how to talk to their firmware, maybe someone could talk to them about adapting their Linux HP driver solutions used for their software for burning with Mandrake over the long haul??? Right now Veritas is concentrating on backup solutions in re Linux, but most of their backup solutions can use CD-R or CD-RW as backup media-- they work closely with HP in regard to HP drives for backup, have for a long time.
I now use TDK, because their drives more fully meet the mmc standard sets, does not step its rotational and burn speeds radically until over the 20X mark. I can say this, the packet to packet rates on a TDK 40x12x40x can be set to 20x and vary from 43x to 18x from one packet chunk to next and still not make coasters. The average overall ISO burn comes out to about 115% of rated speed chosen, and this brand is the only brand I can burn 90%+reliable ISO sets at 20X on B- media while my system is doing other things. I usually run burns with burnproof on. gCombust works fine with this drive over the 6+ months I have had it (TDK VeloCD 40x12x40x, which cost me far less than half the price of my older HP 9100 series). I have burned about 70 ISO sets of 3 CDs each with it. I THINK it is burning in a standards emulation mode in Linux, but emulates very well. It also is an unknown as to specific model, and TDK also tends to stick new capacities in firmware applied to older mech designs.
