I recently bought a Ricoh MP7040A which is supported by cdrecord 1.8a22
and I am very happy with it. I had no problems so far. It is faster than
th HP7200 which I also tried out some time ago. A friend of mine who had
a HP7200 also bought himself a Ricoh MP7040A and he said it is an
improvement on the HP7200.
