Yes, I have the ('dmesg | grep DVD')

 hdc: Toshiba DVD-ROM SD-R9012, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
 hdc: ATAPI 24X DVD-ROM CD-R/RW drive, 2048KB Cache, UDMA(33)

I also have all these softlinks to /dev/hdc:
    /dev/cdrom
    /dev/cdrw
    /dev/dvd

With Debian Stable, I am using sound-juicer to rip CDs, and soon hope to be
back to a stable version of NeroLinux.

hth,
