Yes it is an atapi device. You firstly need to load the parport stuff and make sure it picks up the parallel port *including an IRQ) so this may require you to pass options to parport_pc If the conf.modules is correct modprobe bpck worked for me. You want to load the pg module (parport generic) and I think you also need ide/atapi SCSI emulation compiled in and scsi generic support and scsi support in the kernel then cdrdao and cdrecord talk to the drive as a generic scsi device. I had the following line in my conf.modules to facilitate interrupt driven mode on parport 0 at 0X378 irq 7: options parport_pc io=0x378 irq=7 Regards, Kerry.
