I was kindly given a Pioneer DVD A-04 today. Getting a bit old now, but it does (or should do) the job.
I have two slight problems though. The drive is up and burning, but k3b on SuSE 9.0 moans that if I want to use Disk at Once mode I need to either find a copy of cdrdao that supports ATAPI writers or start using ide-scsi.
I have never had to use ide-scsi before as I have always had SCSI writers, I tried the obvious adding hdc=ide-scsi bit to Lilo (as a guess) but it just resulted in the kernel complaining that it couldn't enable DMA for HDC.
What exactly did you put in lilo? 'append = " hdd=ide-scsi"' has always worked for me with no need to do anything else (albeit for CDR rather than DVD, natch). Perhaps you need to play with hdparm a bit? I *think* the exact command you might want is hdparm /dev/hdc dma=1. But that is dredged from the depths of my memory as I haven't used it in ages and haven't got it installed on my current box.
Maybe the cd recording how-to will help (from tldp.org obviously <G>)
