Going off on a bit of a tangent here, and re-naming the subject.  If
I execute "cdrecord -scanbus dev=ATAPI", the system spins its wheels for
several seconds, and I get...

  However, "cdrecord -scanbus dev=ATA" also works and gives *IMMEDIATE*

  Has anyone tried something like...

mkisofs -R -J xfer | cdrecord -tao -v fs=8m -data dev=ATA:0,1,0 -

instead of

mkisofs -R -J xfer | cdrecord -tao -v fs=8m -data dev=ATAPI:0,1,0 -
