[Lancaster] CD Burners

might have to avoid having other stuff thrash the disk / ide bus

this, I'm not sure <

Practically all IDE burners are 'burn-proof' now, unless you use a 
second hand one. They need to be set for DMA (can you do that under 
Linux?) though, as I've seen one fail when it wasn't and too much was 
asked of it. Even so, I wouldn't recommend trying to do anything much 
else while burning is in progress unless you have a very fast PC as 
burning has such a high priority that anything else goes at a crawl.
