Hi all,

I have a problem with cdrecord.  Specifically, it will not let me write or
erase CDs (CD RW, actually).  My system:

Redhat 7.1
cdrecord 1.11-a12 (latest that I could find - earlier versions also don't 
                               work on my system)
HP Omnibook 800 CT (built in SCSI - Symbios logic 53C810 SCSI controller)
166 MHz Pentium MMX
Yamaha 6416 CD RW (SCSI ID 0/0)

Here's the output.  The output is the same whether I'm trying to blank or
trying to write.

>From an LED and device perspective, it looks like someone has yanked
the reset line on the SCSI bus several seconds after "Operation starts".
All devices seem to reset.  I have a SCSI tape drive on the same SCSI bus,
and it also acts like it has just been reset whenever this failure occurs  
(i.e. stops what it's doing and re-positions the tape).

Note that I can read from the CD recorder fine, and I have recorded using
this CD recorder on a different system/OS (CD Writer on my old Atari Falcon).
In addition, I have no problem accessing (reading and writing) the tape drive,
so I don't think it's the SCSI bus or cables (which have all worked fine
before).

Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
