That's correct.  This works fine for me with both an HP 8210i and a cheap
JVC clone, RW2224.

Also, if you wish to use CD-R/CD-RW, It is suggested that you upgrade to
3.2-RELEASE.  3.1 and previous use the "rezero" ATAPI command, which some
drives do not support; if your drive does not support it, it causes the
writing process to halt, resulting in a ruined disc.  3.2 corrects this
problem by only using the rezero command if it is supported by the
particular drive.
