Hi Barry,

I've got the Asus P5B with that nasty JMicron controller on it.

I bought an SATA-> IDE adaptor, connected one end to the Intel AHCI 
controller and the other to the DVD drive. It works fine with my NEC 
ND4520. Also, cdrecord doesn't bitch now about "opening device by name is 
not supproted and may not work!"

Hope that helps
