Buying a burner

My 3+ year old HP 7200i has turned back into a pumpkin. I'm looking at buying the HP 9500i. It's not listed in the 3 different hardware-howtos I've checked. Does anyone have the 9500i working in a SuSe 7.1 box? I'll be shocked if it won't work, but I'd like to hear a "yes" before I spend the money. -- Robert S.
