If you're going to be using cdrecord, definitely SCSI. I'm not sure if
there is an ATAPI passthrough driver in NetBSD, and if there is, how
it works with cdrecord ... any SCSI drive listed in the cdrecord
distribution should work. I am using a Yamaha CDRW4260 at home with
no problems, you may want to look at a newer product along the same
line.
