	It isn't supported due to (my) lack of time.  I have a WORM drive,
though (Plextor 4/12 Max), and I'm planning to write a WORM driver for CAM.

	It's likely that we can get cdrecord running with the CAM
passthrough driver fairly quickly, though.  This would give you the
ability to burn CD's from userland.  As for mounting WORM drives as CDROM
drives, I can probably come up with the necessary code in the current CAM
CDROM driver to make that happen.  (basically, I'd need to make quirk
entries for worm drives that don't respond to CD commands...if there are
any such devices)
