Wow! Something possibly amiss there. I get 700k/sec via FTP between two
hosts on a LAN. Either the FTP client is being conservative, or the ftp
daemon is not very good. You should get _way_ higher throughput than that
over Ethernet.

Or was it ftp from an emulation layer -> a running Linux, at the same
time? That will cause too much overhead I guess. In which case you
wouldn't necessarily get any better from netatalk.

I might have done something like compress to mp3 at 192kb/s (I can't tell
the difference above that) and then copy (10 times faster) then re-WAV on
the Mac which can burn.

I _think_ IDE-SCSI might be a module in YDL, rather than need compiling.
Have you tried adding "hdx=ide-scsi" to your kernel options, where x is
the letter of the CD-RW?
