John,
I am sorry to alert you to the fact that Mitsumi cdrw drives don't work 
so well with Linux!  I don't know if you have checked the hardware 
database yet for this model, but I am guessing it will not be listed as 
a working model.  I tried a couple different models of Mitsumi drives a 
few months back and could not get either of them to work and Mitsumi 
tech support just flat out say they don't support Linux!  I gave up on 
them and returned the units for an Acer model, that works the best I 
have seen/used.  I am sure some others here can give you details on 
their working models too.

Patrick
