I've got a Yamaha 6416S (external) on my AlphaStation 200 4/233.

I use mkisofs to make filesystem images. I use cdrecord (both out of
/usr/pkg) to actually burn the images. 

Works just fine. Only odd thing is that if I dd a CD in the burner to
a file, the drive fails to stop reading at the end of the CD, returning
garbage or whatever to the dd process which will never stop. 

I can dd just fine in my RRD43, so it's not so much a big deal. 

I just got my burner at Christmas, and I've got about a dozen disks
that I've burned so far. It works well.
