I've got one and it runs fine with cdrecord + gcombust (gui frontend for cdrecord).

It won't write Mode 2 XA sessions (or something like that). Consequently, cdrecord requires some extra options for making multisession disks. Kind of a bummer that a nice brand new CD-R drive can't write Mode 2 XA sessions, but it's too late for me to easily change it out and the missing functionality isn't a big loss for me. Look at the cdrecord web site for info regarding multisession with Sony CD-R drives.
