IDE (ATAPI, actually) is _bad_, particularly in this application.
CDR depends on a steady stream of data from host box to CDR.  Interrupt that
stream, you've just blown a CDR blank.  Feed bad data to that stream, you've
got a bad CD.

ATAPI is high-performance (in its latest incarnations), but the error-recovery
sucks and unless you're running that CDR all by its lonesome on that controller
you'll have bus contention issues as well.

ATAPI -- just say no.
