(also a plain-old cdrom installed via IDE (internal) on this server).

And no such animal as a modules.conf anywhere on the system (per locate 
modules.conf)

Will try the reading.  No write protect switch.  This CDRW was on a 
Win2000 system whose board started overheating and crashing.  So it was 
working with Veritas just 2 weeks ago.

And I need clues to help me RTFM.  Lot there ASSuMEing already knowing 
about SCSI and CD devices...

Well, I could believe the no label problem, but I have stacks of these 
Memorex CDR disks and it is off the spindle onto the try as I have been 
doing for a few years on the Win2000 system.  And I just used some on my 
corporate HP notebook's DVD/CDRW drive with XP (but no iso software, and 
the system is too locked down to add anything they don't send you).

See above.

No.  There is just room to put it horiz above the systems that are on a 
shelf in a 19" rack....

Would if I could get more out of RTFM.
