Does NEC DVD+RW ND-1100 A drive work on redhat linux 9.0?

[Ren-Chieh Lien,506,51079,,]

I had just got an NEC DVD+RW/CD combo. Installed the Redhat linux 9.0.

What programs could I use to check whether the DVD/CD burners are working?

I check the hardware browser. It reads,

_nec DVD+RW ND-1100A

Device information

Manufacture: _nec
Driver: none or built in
Device: /dev/scd0

Thanks for any help.
