If you choose to use scsi-emulation, read the howto from tldp.org:
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/other-formats/html_single/CD-Writing-HOWTO.html

While a bit outdated it should get you running.  It looks from your 
email that you might not have loaded the correct modules.  That's all in 
the HOWTO.  The ATAPI support under Fedora Core 2 (2.6.6-1.435.2.3) is 
pretty decent.  Might be a good reason to upgrade.
