The model is GSA-H42L.
The firmware is version SL01 (dated April 2007), which I believe
is the latest.
The drive is comparatively cheap ($45.00 US) and operates at
DMA 4.
So far, I've had no problems with the drive under Linux, but
since I've changed to DVD-RAM disks exclusively, I no longer
use the pktcdvd driver. With the UDF filesystem, writing a
lot of data seems to take a long time. There are reports that
the pktcdvd driver will speed this up, but I haven't tried this
method -- yet.

Which LG model, please? And what firmware revision if you know?
I'm thinking of upgrading, but there were problem reports with LG on the
cdrom mailing list.
