I suppose I broke the thread, but I have no choice--the Linux
machine is apart, and I have to write in Windows.

I put the new writer drive in the machine, but I probably don't
have the master/slave thing set right.  The original, read-only
drive has S L A available, and is jumper-set on A.

The new writable drive has S L A, and also says
S is cable select, L is slave, and A is master.
It is jumper-set on L.

It also says that C
                       S is cable select

                      S
                      L is slave

and               M
                   A is master

So it looks like it is set up correctly, but,
the system does not seem to recognize the new drive.

The cable for the original drive has another connector on it,
which I plugged into the new drive.

What now?  Do I need some kind of install routine? I thought that the 
system would automatically recognize
new hardware.  (SuSE 9.3.)

(BTW--thanx to the folks who pointed me to K3B.  I didn't know
it was there.  Now to get to use it....)

TIA--doug
