dev=ATA:1,0,0 is that related to the linux kernel or my hardware?

no cygwin hence no man or info, or help. I looked at the cdrecord web
page (Joerg Schilling), but couldn't navigate it easily...got fed up
and took a nap

using this gui front-end for cdrecord, then, the command to burn a boot
disc from iso is probably:

cdrecord dev=ATA:1,0,0 -r -dao -dummy foo.iso
I'll give it a whirl with -dummy first.
