Nope, that won't work. The I/O Magic gets listed as atapi dvd dd 2x16x4x16. The easiest way is by the firmware rev. The BenQ OEM firmware is lised as G7K9 or something similar.

I am not familiar with firmware things.
What's the meaning of "firmware rev."? How to find it?

Thanks!

Find DVDInfoPro in the tools section or just click on the name in this post. Install and run. It will give the the firmware revision of your drive.
