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.
Strongly advise that you update your copy of K3b from the K3b website as many of these issues have been sorted out from version 0.10.x onward. . I am now using K3b 0.11.4 and Suse rpms are available AFAIR. Many improvements - for example you should find that the ide-scsi boot option is no longer needed and there is better writer speed detection. A few minor bugs but nothing that I have found to be a problem
I also installed dvd+rw-tools which, despite the name, is useful for dvd-r burning as well. Presumably suse rpms are available (I used urpmi with mandrake 9.2 so there were no dependancy issues and it all installed and worked very easily).
Also, after upgrading the version, try running k3bsetup as root from in an x-terminal. May or may not be useful but worth trying :-)
