[clue-tech] not really a linux question but...

[Bob Meetin]

Before I burn the bridge I would like a suggestion here.  I have a DVD+ 
recorder which lites up on my desktop PC but it doesn't want to record 
and doesn't see DVD+ media (or DVD-) media to record.  I know you can 
get a new drive for $30-ish.  Is there anything I should try with this 
drive before turning it into roadkill?

Related to this, my laptop, older Dell, which I don't use due to a 
motherboard/battery problem, has an almost new DVD combo +/- recorder.  
Is there any kind of adapter that could be hooked up to retrofit it to 
replace the seemingly failed DVD recorder on the desktop. It is not cost 
so much as a preference to recycle and reuse.  Otherwise to craigslist 
it goes.

It is okay to point me off list for this off-topic topic.
