Dunno.

However if you want to spend a very few dollars you can pick up a
generic laptop IDE CDROM/CDRW drive (I have a Samsung SN-124) and an
adapter card to connect to a standard IDE and power cable, and with
not much effort make it work in a DS10-L.  Compgeeks carried both
parts needed (you might also need a decent IDE cable if your box
didn't come with one).

A friend mentioned IsoRecorder  (http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/
isorecorder.htm) when I asked about it; perhaps it can do it?  I
didn't look too closely.
