i'm using the old iomega zip 650 cd with my laptop over usb. it works
nicely, though it's far from fast -- it's only a 4x. i think the
speed may be a bit limitted due to usb. i saw an ad for a new iomega
usb burner which dodes 8x or something, but it requires a later
revision of usb spec. i don't know how this applies to linux or your
hardware.
i have hotplug recognizing the device upon connection, and it loads up
the usb-scsi emulation, which assigns it a device in the scsi series,
and i just treat it as a scsi device. it's quite reliable! i have
burnt very few ``coasters''.
