Actually that works perfectly fine for me. it seems a little odd that it 
doesn't for you. Admittedly I am running these commands on an FC4 box, 
but my only debian box doesn't have any CD drives at all.

okay, you know that your CD writer is /dev/hdc
try 
cdrecord dev=/dev/hdc -checkdrive

does this work?

if so, then you should be able to edit /etc/cdrecord/cdrecord
and put in 
CDR_DEVICE=/dev/hdc

or if you have an appropriate symlink, you could use 
CDR_DEVICE=/dev/cdrom
instead

incidentally the location of 
/usr/share/doc/cdrecord/README.ATAPI.setup
was part of the output of your cdrecord -scanbus command, not some 
arcane secret that only debian magicians know about ( I am certainly 
not one of those) - it was even quoted back to you.


Regards

Stuart
