Seconded that it works here. It has the "CDROM" bit on it with Windows
drivers, but there's a site[1] that has contains the magic to disable
that, talk to the device and a GUI to control it. The GUIs are
packaged as .debs for Ubuntu 8.04, while the rest could be built
anywhere I expect - the source for the GUIs (it's Python) are
available elsewhere on the site I think. All just works with those
installed and quite easy.
It's been reliable and speedy so far, no complaints.
