I just got a Dell Dimension e521 (AMD 64 x2, nVidia MCP51 chipset)

I seem to have this as well, recently purchased:

and in the dmesg:

I remember being surprised seeing a SATA CD drive i it when I popped it open to remove (the never powered up) proprietary OS tax hard drive, and dropping in a Seagate with a five year warranty ;)

The drive shows up as /dev/scd0 and all the symlinks for /dev/cdrom,

hmm -- I'll check tomorrow, but I would suspect, from the following, that it can be used at the TUI command line by root by cdrecord (I actually rarely burn media, but it was included in the price that I got from Dell), with the setting of:

   dev='1,0,0' and an iso image, etc.

[root@amd64 proc]# cdrecord dev='1,0,0' driveropts=help  -checkdrive
...
