Sorry, I don't have that info. I think there was something of a tutorial that
came with ST3, but I'm not sure... Impulse has context-sensitive help available,
I'd start with that. But, if you get stuck of need some pointers, mail me off
the list and I'll help you as best I can. BTW: ST3 is outdated. Use IT. :)

Yeah, I've only had it spit out one coaster so far :) It's the HP 7110i+ drive,
which is the internal IDE model. I have it working fine under Linux, except for
some CD playing tools that don't like the SCSI emulation. When I burn a CD, I
can do all kinds of other things: compile a kernel, work in X, etc, etc. But-
my system also serves loop-mounted ISO cd images to windows clients with samba,
and for some reason that tends to suck down cpu when I'm burning. Turning on
IRQ unmasking for the non-cd drives in your system helps (man hdparm) but can
cause problems on some hardware.
If you're in the market for a burner, I'd go with a SCSI. Getting this IDE to
work properly was a right pain in the ass.
