My friend has a unit identical to mine (model and such - probably from the 
same batch, unless the store sold us two units from different batches - very 
unlikely, I would think), as we both decided to go for this 
type/manufacturer, after following email threads on other lists, about 
burners, for a while. I did not move mine to his PC, though, but I strongly 
believe that this should not be an issue - if mine was broken, I assume that 
I wouldn't have been able to burn anything ...

Thanks again - I do not think this is worth your time, though, anymore, and 
probably not mine, either, as I don't see and couldn't find anybody else 
interested in the issue, so I will choose the "path of minimal resistance". I 
asked a question, and you were kind enough to provide many directions and 
possible answers. In the end all I want is to burn DVDs and archive my 
networking tools from my Linux - but - if I can't make it work - I am not 
going to insist on using it for burning, so I'll probably "cron" something 
for nightly syncs to another box, and do the burning where it works.

Thx again,
Stef
