I have a Mustek MRW-8432 :
cd1 at atapibus0 drive 1: <R/RW 8x4x32, 0, 1.5> type 5 cdrom removable
cd1: 32-bit data port
cd1: drive supports PIO mode 4, DMA mode 2

but haven't located any cd rewrite software to use with it. Works
fine with CDR's using cdrecord (and xcdroast) and I can even burn
a CDR image using a RW cd, but haven't figured out how to rewrite.
What am I missing here?
