Very Computer

I see a "PX-R412 C" and "PleXwriter 412C" listed as supported in the linux
Hardware HOWTO, so I am wondering, will the PX-w4220TI/SW even be useable as
plain CD reader under linux?

Look at

http://www.buy.com/comp/product.asp?SKU=10023988

for a rough list of its specs.

Anyone know more about this drive?  Thanks for sharing whatever you can . . .

I see the PX-R412 there so that's good.

You might want to check out some of the faster recorders like:

COMPRO/Matsushita/Panasonic CW-7502

This little beast records at X4 and is very economical, price wise. The
only annoyance is that some of the fans were noisy but they never seemed
to fail. I have an older HP X2 speed and the CW-7502 X4 speed and I never
use the slower HP anymore - at least not for burning.

The Linux program you will want to use is called cdrecord & mkisofs (comes
with cdrecord). They are GREAT! Just read the HowTos and FAQ's.

Hope that helps you out.

Best regards,

Brian

If you want to use cdrecord with the drive, then I would suggest
going to the cdrecord homepage and see what drives are listed.
