Hi Myles, wow, 24 hours later, you are the only one to help me out. Is
my problem so weird ? :o(
Plextor being well know for CD burners, and seeing I have a SCSI one
which is nativeley supported by Linux (it seems IDE ones need a SCSI
emualiton layer !), I was hoping for more help :o(

'cdrecord' ? Yes, I found trace of that command in Google.

I did 'cdrecord -scanbus", an it DOES found my drive (see output below).

Oh wait, looks like a good night of sleep improved the situation
somehow ! I just did another attempt at burning something (only 30MB of
pics), it STARTED to burn !! :o)))  BUT stopped/hung half-way ! :o((
I can't even remove the media, the ejection button doesn't respond
anymore ! :o(
Anyway, if it started burning, it probably means that most of the
configuration job is done. Now either it needs some fine tuning, or the
drive is a faulty. It has been used so much since its birth 3+ years
ago...
I will try burning at a reduced speed (this first half-successful
attempt was done  at max speed (x12), which is Nautilus default).

I will try to find a windows driver for it on the net. My dad was using
it under Win XP and that's also what I have (in a corner of a very small
partition ;o). Haven't started XP for months now, guess it's time to use
it a bit, to keep it from rusting. ;o)
