You mention on your website that LG gave you a 8080B drive. I'm having some problems using it in Linux (Mandrake 8.2 on a 450Mhz PII) to burn CD-RW media. Here is the error that I get:
cdrecord: Input/output error. blank unit: scsi sendcmd: no error CDB: A1 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 status: 0x2 (CHECK CONDITION) Sense Bytes: 70 00 04 00 00 00 00 0A 00 00 00 00 09 00 00 00 Sense Key: 0x4 Hardware Error, Segment 0 Sense Code: 0x09 Qual 0x00 (track following error) Fru 0x0 Sense flags: Blk 0 (not valid) cmd finished after 4.746s timeout 9600s cdrecord: Cannot blank disk, aborting. This, incidentally, is the error that I get when I try to burn a CD-R Audio disk without DAO. When I include the -dao option, cdrecord seems to detect and fix the problem on its own: Performing OPC...
