:-) thanks for the response!

I think that until I can afford to replace the CDRW, that I am going to
be begrudgingly satisfied to just use it under windoz as much as I loath
that idea.

The scanner will not be supported by the sane folks, it is apparently an
ancient version of the Plustek U12 that they don't plan to support :-(.

The last time I tried this CDRW (AccessTek CW1601) under linux, I had
the only hard system crash I can remember (in linux).  The system hung
solid requiring multiple power cycles before it would re-boot and the
CDRW that was in there (this one is a replacement) never worked reliably
after that and eventually just died.

It seems horribly unlikely that linux would have had this affect on the
drive (or vice-versa) but I lack development funds to experiment :-).

Things are improving, I only have three things left that require windoz
and will replace two of them as soon as I can and the third on the
author is working at porting to linux :-).

Thanks & take care, Vikki.
