does anybody know if the creative 6424 cdrw is supported ? i've read
that linux supports the 4224 cdrw... the biggest difference between the
two drives is that the 3424 re-writes at 4x speed while the 4224 one
writes at 2x--as you can see i really want to take advantage of the 4x.

even if the 6424 isn't supported, can i use just use it anyway w/ any
problems? AND, will i be able to rewrite at 4x?

thanks so much

I think I was the first person to report success with the 4224. (I
know it didn't appear on the success list until after I reported,
anyway.) Care to join me as a brave pioneer?

What I did was buy my drive, follow the CD-Writing HOWTO
instructions, and discover that it worked fine.
