personally, i'd go SCSI since it's less hassle and tends to work
better. however, most of the ATAPI drives, including the philips,
should work. the trick is to rebuild a kernel and enable the "SCSI
emulation" support. that will make your ATAPI drive look like a SCSI
one. poke around freshmeat.net and look for cdrecord for more info on
what burners work and how well/easily.
cdrecord is a pretty killer program. i regularly write NFS mounted
images at 4x speed on a loaded machine without any problems. try
_that_ under windows!
