Well, some things have changed since I posted this message.  I was 
mistaken above, Simple CDR-X is also having problems recording CD-Rs on 
this NEC burner.   I can sometimes get it to start burning and then it 
will stop due to some error.  I read on LinuxQuestions.org a post where 
someone indicated they also had problems burning to an external USB 2.0 
DVD+/-RW burner if they tried to burn CD-Rs at speeds faster than 4x. 
I've been trying to burn at 24x.

Additionally, I've got cdrdao 1.1.5 installed and I'll upgrade that to 
1.2.0 shortly.   Here is what cdrdao tells me about my drive:

address@hidden:/home/tom# cdrdao disk-info --device 1,0,0
Cdrdao version 1.1.5 - (C) Andreas Mueller <address@hidden>
 SCSI interface library - (C) Joerg Schilling
 L-EC encoding library - (C) Heiko Eissfeldt
 Paranoia DAE library - (C) Monty

Check http://cdrdao.sourceforge.net/drives.html#dt for current driver 
tables.

Using libscg version 'schily-0.5'

1,0,0: _NEC DVD_RW ND-3520A     Rev: 1.04
ERROR: No driver found for '_NEC DVD_RW ND-3520A', available drivers:

So, I'm sure that's a problem for me and will probably be THE problem 
preventing me from burning anything to this drive with Linux.

Any ideas or am I stuck?

Peace....
