It's normal for optical disc drives to show up as ATA, so what ur seeing in dmesg is almost certainly the optical drive.
Normal mount-point for these types of drives is /dev/sr0, is that present on ur system? And can the OS read from the drive?

Subject: [PLUG] CD-ROM burner.
I have a "new" machine from FreeGeek that is running Slackware 13.0.
I would like to burn a data CD-ROM, so I installed a package called
"kb3." When I run "kb3" it complains that it cannot find any burner
hardware. Looking inside the box, I see I have a Samsung SM-348 with
CD-RW/DVD.
I am able to read from the device.
Should I be able to write CD-ROMS with the device?
------------------------------------
When I run "k3b" as root, I get:
<unknown program name>(4164)/: KUniqueApplication:
Cannot find the D-Bus session server
<unknown program name>(4163)/: KUniqueApplication:
Pipe closed unexpectedly.
When I run "k3b" as non-root, a GUI starts but a message comes up
saying it can't find s CR-Rom writer.
Diagnostics I have tried (I don't know much about hardware):
1) I grepped dmesg for SAMSUNG using:
dmesg | grep -i SAM
This gives only:
hda: SAMSUNG SP1614N, ATA DISK drive
which I think is my hard-drive and not the CD_ROM. (I can
read CDs though?)
2) I ran "cdrecord -scanbus" which gives:
Cdrecord-ProDVD-ProBD-Clone 2.01.01a57

I am not sure what this means.
