At this very moment I'm writing a CD on an ATAPI CDROM, the Phillips 26A
OmniWriter. I set up the kernel with SCSI emulation, which seems to be all
that's needed. I'm also using cdrecord, version 1.8a18. You can find out
what SCSI (or simulated SCSI) devices cdrecord knows about by issuing the
command
cdrecord -scanbus
However, be warned: there's a nasty error in the man page about the SCSI ID.
The number yielded by scanbus is claimed to be:
100*scsibus+10*target+lun
But in fact it seems to be
100*scsibus+10*lun+target
You can check all this out by using the -inq option.
