Don't know if this helps, but I use a Sony 510a under Redhat 8.0. I was able to use growisofs with mondo directly to the /dev/hcx, but could not get cdrecord to work for cd burning with it until I went to http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/ and followed instructions there: Passing "hdX=ide-scsi" argument to kernel via lilo did not work, so, I did the following: * appending following lines to your /etc/modules.conf: options ide-cd ignore=hdX pre-install sg modprobe ide-scsi pre-install sr_mod modprobe ide-scsi pre-install ide-scsi modprobe ide-cd I am now able to use both cdrecord and growisofs... --scanbus finds the burner. It is a very nice setup with mondo. Might work in fedora too, but I don't know. Mark Carter
