Drivers for CD writers and programs to burn cd's

CD-Writers are relatively new hardware, only SCSI CD-Writers are supported by the latest linux kernel. Wait about a good 6 months for a kernel version that would support IDE CDRW's. (There is a way around emulating SCSI with IDE devices to get your IDE CDRW working, but to a Linux Newbie, this could be quite tricky). Well there are quite a few tools and utilities to get your cd-burning going with linux. (cdrecord, mkisofs... etc) For an application to run on linux, it must be compiled on linux. So an image editor that runs on IRIX will not run on Linux unless it is correctly written as a multi-platform software and is compiled on a linux platform.Note that most vendor-specific UNIX applications are NOT multi-platform.They are written specifically for the vendor's unix architecture. Most open-source software is available in linux. Also, things that are written in Visual Basic will not run on Linux..:-)

I got a Internal cd-writter(IDE). If any one got software for that please mail to me.

I have RedHat 6.2 already installed and an internal Yamaha CRW8424S drive. How can I begin using it as a recordable CD device? P.S.: Please cc: replies to jmkatz@ieee.org if possible, thanks.

if anyone out there please knows of a driver to make a sony spressa CRX140E work let me know ok
