You have to use -current to get the CDROM writer code.  The only two
supported recorders so far are the HP SureStore (Fred Cawthorne, Jordan)
and the "Plasmon" (Joerg).

To support a new writer you'll need the SCSI interface spec for the device
and -current.  It should not be too hard given that, especially if the RCD5020
happens to be based on the same Philips "engine" as the other two.
