Thanks, works very nicely for my firewire cd-rw, at least if the unit
is on when the machine boots.  Powering it up while linux is running
doesn't seem to work.  That's not a big deal though.  I haven't
actually written a cd yet but 'cdrecord -scanbus' sees the device and
I can read cds from /dev/scd0.

Now if only USB printing worked...
