But the Optiarchs that supports Lightscribe also supports DVD-RAM. So 
the NEC AD-5170 does not support DVD-RAM, but the NEC AD-7173 does.

My point was more that you just find a DVD-burner with the specs you 
need and it should work. I have used Plextor, Sony, NEC and Optiarc over 
the last year or so and I have not detected any functional differences 
in use in linux, apart from the different feature sets and speeds.

And if it turns out that there is a God, I don't believe that he is evil.
The worst that can be said is that he's an underachiever.
