!!! How to get your CDR working - [ATAPI] Styles
Recent 2.4 kernels, and all 2.6 kernels, have support for cdwriting via [ATAPI]. There is however a whole heap of crap going on at the moment over this, with Linus slagging off the cdrecord author for sticking to an outdated and hideous interface, and the cdrecord author slagging off linux in general because of its shite compatability with the standards he wants.
-(See http://lkml.org/lkml/2003/11/6/151 for Linus's take on this, and see [README.ATAPI|http://www.wlug.org.nz/archive/docs/cdrecord-README.ATAPI] for the author's take.)

That said, I have managed to write CDs under 2.6.0 using ATAPI commands only.

"ATA:" appears to be the preferred driver, and ATAPI: seems to be obsolete.
