Folks

I'm looking at CD Writers at http://www.austin.net.au and reviews in 
http://www6.tomshardware.com/storage/01q4/011213/index.html and Linux 
compatibility at http://wt.xpilot.org/cgi-bin/winni/lsc.pl

Austin have Sony (model 24x10x40 Power Burn OEM but likely a CRX175E81X 
which Tom's points out doesn't support overburn). Similarly priced is the 
Ricoh 7200A. There are others but none are on Winifred's compatibility list.

Has anyone bought a recent CD Writer and set it up under Debian Woody ?

Am I right in thinking the emulated SCSI commands haven't changed and it 
should kick into life anyway ?

Any other monumentous (cavernous ?) pitfalls with these gadgets ?

The most recent PLUG chat was about Chris Andre's Sony CDU928E which is on 
the compatible list.

Please RTFM! me if there's more after 
http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Hardware-HOWTO/cdr.html and the links to 
Winifred's most recent lists (dated 2000) ?
