Hi Kevin and all, I just bought a beautiful Plextor SATA DVD+RW, etc, 
etc.  Am I screwed, or is this going to work?  I didn't see anything in 
the dmesg related to this.  But it is on my AMD64 machine with 
5.3-RELEASE.  Generic kernel modified for IPFilter and audio, thats 
all.  Even XP-64 beta won't recognize this thing.
