This page talks about using an ATAPI CD-R with Linux. The patches are for
2.0.31, but my question is have they been incorperated in the 2.1 kernel
yet or should I hand-patch them?

Also, can I still use the drive to mount as a cd-rom drive...even with the
scsi emulation enabled? or do I have the unload the module ;)

Next question -- is CD-RW at all supported under Linux or being worked on?
One thing that comes to mind is you might be able to use the 'mt' program
used for tapes to erase a CD-RW since tapes and cd-rw drives in praticular
are very technically similar IMHO

thanks for your time ;)
