 About IDE CDRW units, I tried a lot of them Like Ricoh, HP, Yamaha and
Plextor, everyone of them worked fine... Well you just need a few tricks in the Linux
kernel like:

   Remove IDE ATAPI CDROM support
   Add SCSI Generic Suppot
   Add SCSI CDROM Support
   Add SCSI Emulation support

  and finally but not less important start burning your CDRoms under Linux ;p

   You have to relink /dev/cdrom to your new device, on SuSE it will be
/dev/srX where X is 0/1/2 (you get the picture), and on Red Hat Systems it will be
/dev/scdX (the same crap about X).
