I have a Sony Spressa USB CD-RW drive that I can use with cdrecord as a scsi device. I do not however recommend anyone ever buy that drive. It sucks. You're going to want to run the latest -stable code (see the section in the handbook on cutting edge.) and then plug in the usb drive. See what comes up in your dmesg. If it comes up as a cd device then you should be able to get it to work. I believe some usb cd drives will be seen as a scsi device and others as an atapi device. If you see acd something it is seen as an atapi, cd0 or something it is a scsi device. Mine comes up as scsi so I installed the cdrecord port, and use it. Use burncd in the base system for an ATAPI drive. For mine I type: tim# cdrecord -scanbus to see where the drive is. It comes up at 0,0,0 so the cdrecord command I use to write is: #cdrecord -v speed=4 dev=0,0 4.2-RC1-install.iso It does work, but I get a lot of errors in the fixating stage. The cd-r I burn can mount and seems to have everything, but it fails to verify as 100% correct. SO it doesn't work perfectly yet. USB support is still improving. I'm going to Spain for a month, so perhaps I will try the latest -stable code when I get back, and maybe the USB support is improved enough to get the drive to work perfectly.
