Thanks, Bill, for your suggestions and a sanity check. I guess I'll just write off
the lines in dmesg that led me to believe it was a CDR-W as a bogus message.
I've already bought a PlexWriter 16/10/40A (PX-W1610TA) for another host and I'm
anxious to try it out.
Thanks, again, for your help and suggestions.

Hi Kevin,
Your NEC 465 is a CD-ROM (40x scsi internal) drive, I believe, but it's not
a CDR-W. So get a good CDR-W then try cdrecord again.
Look carefully through the Linux hardware DB for recommended CDR-Ws. My
Plextor 8432 works great on SuSE 7.1 (with cdrtools-1.11a01) and works very
well with the Cygwin port to Win9x/WinME.
The command line you used should work just fine.
Bill
