ioctl errors/hp cd-rw drive

[Technomage]

question, do you have it setup through ide-scsi (the module used in the 
append= line)?

I have an hp drive here (hp cd-r 8000+) and according to HP, its not 
supported in linux (and yet I have it working for all except DAO mode).

it works ok, but I'd like to find a cd-rw that supports writing of cdda and 
vcd formats.
