I have a "samsung cd rom" and another "lite-on" cd/dvd writer.
I check out the device with:
cdrecord -scanbus dev=ATAPI 2>/dev/null
to look for lines for identifying my cd writer. For me, the name of
the company was good enough.
cdrecord -scanbus dev=ATAPI 2>/dev/null |grep
'LITE-ON'|gawk {'print $1'}
gives the output: 0,1,0
I drop this in the command for actual burning.
cdrecord -dev ATAPI:$(cdrecord -scanbus dev=ATAPI
2>/dev/null |grep 'LITE-ON'|gawk {'print $1'})
-data foo.iso
That does it for me.
