With xcdroast I also get this message that SCSI emulation should be
used. I have followed the directions and could not make it work. I
just leave it as an ATAPI drive and the writing of CD's work without
problem. Use Create CD -> master tracks . After you chose the files
you want to write then choose the files to write, then use create
session image and write on the fly.

Somewhat alarmed at the continued growth of the number of employees
on the Department of Agriculture payroll in 1962, Michigan Republican Robert
Griffin proposed an amendment to the farm bill so that "the total number of
employees in the Department of Agriculture at no time exceeds the number of
farmers in America."
