I don't remember.  The drive is at another address.  If you like I can try 
cdrecord on it some time this week and report back.   I think I can use it 
as a CD-ROM reader, just not with cdrecord.  It works with DOS cdroast.

It would take me a few days to download the source code.  Do you have it?


I don't really need to have this burner working with linux since it works 
with DOS and we have another burner, but perhaps other people would 
appreciate a small 2.6 kernel based on the BL2 kernel but with sound, USB,
and framebuffer support added (which might not be all that small any 
more, but computers with USB tend to have space).  Other people have run 
into hardware that required a later kernel than 2.2.16.



I had to configure something to deal with a buggy motherboard before 
sound would work.  I could send you my .config file that works with sb16.
