I'm having problems trying to burn my first CD with a NEC 465 drive. I can't find any 
information about this drive from NEC, but I found it listed on a few (but not many) 
lists of CD-R drives. Yet, the drive itself doesn't have any lights or other 
attributes that makes me think it's a CD-R. My main suggestion that it is comes from 
these lines in my dmesg:

Detected scsi disk sdb at scsi0, channel 0, id 1, lun 0
(scsi1:0:5:0) Synchronous at 20.0 Mbyte/sec, offset 15.
  Vendor: NEC       Model: CD-ROM DRIVE:465  Rev: 1.03
  Type:   CD-ROM                             ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Detected scsi CD-ROM sr0 at scsi1, channel 0, id 5, lun 0
sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 14x/32x cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray

This seems to say that the NEC 465 is an mmc-compliant CD-RW.

Yet, when I try to write to it, I get:

These lines from my /var/log/warn may be related. They were logged at the same time as 
my attempt to record.

I compiled cdrecord 1.11a01 using the version of make included with the SuSE 7.1 
distribution, which is on this host, instead of smake.

Any ideas if I have a CD-RW, and if so, what I need to do to get it to work?

Thanks for all your time and thought helping me with this problem.
