Linux support for PlexWriter 12/10/32A?



Hi

Is the Plextor PlexWriter 12/10/32A supported by Linux? This is a
fairly new unit that uses Sanyo's BURN-Proof (Buffer UnderRun Proof)
fault-tolerant technology. 

The review I read is in PC Mag, which is almost exclusively Windows
and the drive is not described as SCSI, so I assume it is IDE.

The review says this drive remedies the generation of pretty
coasters problem by halting the write when the internal buffer is
empty, then waits for the buffer to refill, then finds last frame
written and resumes. This is said to allow Win machines to browse
without killing a cd burn.

If you don't know whether it is supported, is there a similar device
that is known to work under Linux, so we might safely infer support? 

Or ... how can I find out short of buying one and trying it? ;)
