Sorry, Chuck. Bad writing on my part. When I wrote the above, I meant to be
referring to writing to atapi devices in native mode. I use scsi emulation
here in pretty much the same way you do and have done so for years.

I was surprised (and still am) that Peter has an ATAPI CD burner running
at all under 2.4.x, unless he is already using SCSI emulation (relevant
since most of the feedback he got was about using SCSI emularion ... if
he's already doing that, it won't help him).
