It was sold as a CDRW, the label on the unit says "8X CD-RW MODULE"
and the boot message is:
Apr 18 11:35:41 i4100 /kernel: acd0: CD-RW <HL-DT-ST CD-RW GCE-8080N> at ata1-master using PIO4

Even with "burncd msinfo" I get the error message immediately and I
never see the drive light come up.
Anyhow, I'll try and get one or more decent CD-RW disks, is Imation
any good? BTW the one I have and tried is labeled Yamaha (came with
a Yamaha SCSI CD-RW drive).
