Hi there!
The Ricoh MP6200S is a CD-R and CD-RW writer.
As I am a linux user, I wonder if this recorder is supported by linux or
if you know or think it will be.
When _READING_ from CD-ROM, CD-R or CD-RW with the MP6200S, can it be
contolled by the SCSI host adapter as any other SCSI CR-ROM drive or are
ther differences? What I mean is: Only _WRITING_ needs special drivers?
If only writing needs special drivers, I would buy this drive and switch
to DOS to write the images prepared under linux, beacause creating the
image file is hardware independent, as I think.
Could you please tell me if I am right, or would you discourage me
buying this drive for use under linux?
By the way: Is the Yamaha CDR-400T (writes only CD-R) supported by
linux/cdwrite?
