I went to try Stephen's suggestion last night but it was suddenly 
working--both drives came up on XCDRoast's bus scan as they should.  I 
had done a cold restart before posting my question so I have no idea 
what happened.  I buy only name-brand hardware (the IDE controller is on 
an ABIT motherboard in this case) to avoid this kind of crap but 
nothing's perfect I guess.  I burned about 15 CDs for a family reunion 
last night with no problem.

I will take a look at k3b sometime.  One issue that's seldom discussed 
with open-source software is that once you've spent the time to master a 
program that's less-than-user-friendly, you (or at least I) become 
resistant to trying something else.

Thanks!
