I have one built into the HP lappy I bought last spring, with a dual 
boot of xp and fc5.  Under fc5, with the newest bios, it works 
perfectly, but even when empty it tends to be very verbose in the logs 
about some minor thing.  So apparently fc5's bus scanner is alive and 
well, and it should learn to shut up if there's no disk in the drive.  
But, I haven't made a coaster with it yet either.  OTOH, I'm not 
feeding it any lightscribe compatible disks until they're considerably 
more reasonably priced. $4/disk or more isn't in my budget.  Me old 
fart, retired etc etc.

People having trouble with vz bouncing email to me should add the word
'online' between the 'verizon', and the dot which bypasses vz's
stupid bounce rules.  I do use spamassassin too. :-)
