Actually, a SCSI terminator would work better :)

Anyway, under Linux, make sure your kernel is compiled with SCSI Generic
support (or you have it as a loadable module - load it!).  Then, just get,
install, and configure cdrecord, and that should be all you need to do.
Although you'll need to terminate your SCSI bus before I'd expect anything
to work.  That's probably why it won't work with Win95 either.
