here's what it found on the hp7200i w/i the dmesg file: sr1: scsi3-mmc drive: 6x/6x writer cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray think the device is only a 4x read, right? Or to my lack of knowledge, is it just under rated within the hp documentation?? just in case, i've also posted the specs from the hp 7200i prod info and my dmesg (just in case!).
