Dan,

MDK 10.0 uses Kernel 2.6.x, which doesn't need scsi emulation for for IDE 
CD-RW anymore. And the new cdrecord (and K3B), can record using 2.6.x's IDE 
CD-RW set up.

It should work (TM) with the CD-RW as a plain IDE device.

I don't have that much experience with kernel 2.6, so I cannot help you more.

Have you tried recording "as is", with all as IDE, and see what happens?


Salut,
Sinner
