Depends on whether the HP-8200i is a SCSI or an IDE device. If it is an IDE
device you will have to enable 'SCSI emulation' when compiling the kernel,
and access all your ATAPI devices via /dev/scd0 etc. "man cdrecord" for
details, and E-mail the author (man has address) in Germany for more details.
