I routinely use a Philips CDD 3610 for data backups and to create
'archival copies' of audio CD's. It works real horrorshow with
cdfs. If you are running the July 17th (?) or earlier release, you might
have some trouble with long reads, this might be fixed in the latest
release.

Not in answer of your question, but an independent rant...
... copying DVD's is prohibitively expensive : know of any
cheap(er) DVD-RAM drives ?
