Hi there,

I am under the impression that I am getting nowhere with the used HP
cdwriter 8200 that I just bought. Even though I added an extra power
module, I still got error in my attempts to burn cd, and, besides, the CDs
keep spinning at variable speeds. I don't know what else to get that will
be Linux compatible. On the site linuxcompatible.org, I saw nothing else
than the HP 8200 that was being ackowledged as compatible... but the site
may not be up to date. there is no way that I can find a new HP 8200
anywhere, at least in here. However, I have found an

ASUS external usb cdwriter

Is there anyone who would know that writer ? How about Linux
compatibility ? I have USB 1.1 on RedHat 7.2, kernel 2.4.7-10
