  What's 'not fun' about it, pray tell?  I started out with a Panasonic
SCSI CD Writer that broke down about 1 month after the warranty ran out.
Since then, I've been using a Hewlett-Packard CD-Writer Plus 7200,
which has worked just fine with the usual Xcdroast software.  Yeah,
you do have to compile in IDE-SCSI emulation to get things working.
So what?  It works like a charm once that's done.
