You don't mention what you have tried. cdrecord should probably work,
but you would have to find the device number. Try running "cdrecord
-scanbus" and it will tell you what the device number is (something
like 0,0,0 or 1,0,0).

Then you would probably want to do something like:
mkisofs -r /directory_path | cdrecord -v --eject driveropts=burnfree dev=1,0,0 -
 --- OR ---
I think your drive uses ATA instead of SCSI, so you would change the
dev argument like this:
mkisofs -r /directory_path | cdrecord -v --eject driveropts=burnfree
dev=ATA:1,0,0 -
