Thanks, Michael.
I believe you are running Debian unstable. I'm using Debian testing. But I
did find the file in my system:/usr/share/doc/cdrecord/README.ATAPI.setup
This is a very good article.
Just for the archive, according to the article, using the ide-scsi is the
only solution in my situation.
Anybody having eject problem in Debian testing?
PS. the "cdrecord -msinfo" is working fine now. It was my mistake.
