You're right, I did add the writer after I installed Linux- on both 
systems.  On one I replaced an existing writer, on the other (the one 
where ide-scsi didn't see the drive) it had previously had no writer at 
all.  The first one (my development machine - the one with the DVD 
burner) is the one I got working with 9.1.  The other is too much a 
critical system, I don't want to upgrade it!  So hopefully I'll find 
some way to fix it manually.   As far as the third burner on Windoze, 
I'll try reinstalling the software.  Thanks for your feedback!
