Umm, wait, is that what I sent in the email? Shoot - I didn't
copy-n-paste correctly.

Add dev=ATAPI in there :
# cdrecord dev=ATAPI -scanbus
| cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open '/dev/pg*'. Cannot open
I ignored this message. I don't know what "pg" devices are so I guess
I don't have any (not to mention, udev would mostly likely have
created the node if I had such a device).
This should fix my earlier mistake. The dev= parameter tells cdrecord
to look at the ATAPI bus instead of the SCSI bus because we don't have
any SCSI controllers or disks. There are one or two other buses as
well, mentioned in the manpage or somewhere, but I don't remember what
they are.

Yes, Java is so bulletproofed that to a C programmer it feels like being in a
straightjacket, but it's a really comfy and warm straightjacket, and the world
would be a safer place if everyone was straightjacketed most of the time.
