Burning DC CDR dont work on some drives.
Personaly, I have had bad experice with HP IDE, but my Yamaha SCSI works
fine.

The HP 7200i was the first CD Recorder i tried, and let me tell you, it sucked.
No matter what they say, i'll always love my Yamaha SCSI :)

I own a Yamaha CRW4416S for a while and it has never let me down. I don't 
know if it's 'cause IDE recorders just can't handle the job, or Yamaha CD 
Recorders kick ass.

Eitherway, SCSI Recorders are alot more relieable, so you really should get 
one, if you want to do some DC Burning. In fact, i don't know anyone 
burning DC copies with an IDE recorder. Anyone?

I liked that database idea. Count me on

Plextor PlexWriter 12/10/32S (SCSI) has been working like a charm for myself.

I use a HP 9110i to burn DC games just fine but that is in Windows I have
yet to try it in Linux but I will be attempting that tonight!

We will see I guess.

This brings up a good issue:  We should start a database of CDR Drives
that are known to work and some that have had problems.  As a start
can you all share what drives you've had experiences with.  I personally
own an HP 7200i (ide) and if Rene says they won't work, I'm going to need
to go shopping.  

This adds a new dimenson to my hardware choices.  First I had to make 
sure they were on the Linux compatability list, now they should be DC 
compatable too.

Thanks,

Rob.

Well the 7200i is the drive i tried. Unfortunetly as I understand it, it
can't write -xa1 mode atleast under Linux.

Well this is _not_ a compabilety issue. As far as i know Linux supports
this drive fully. But unfortunetly the drive doesn't support -xa1 mode.

I don't know if this is a IDE issue, or if this HP and Sony who are
cheep. Personlay I can't see any good reason why not to implement every
avilable standard in a drive. But then again I'm no expert.
