I recently picked up a NEC ND-3520A and I am having speed problems with this drive under linux. A quick "just to make sure" test in WinXP shows that these errors are indeed specific to cdrecord-prodvd and growisofs.
NEC 35x0 drives report crap answers on mode_sense page 2A when DVD media
is mounted. The available write speeds on DVDs can only be requested using get_performance.
cdrecord-prodvd relies on mode_sense at the moment, meaning that it cannot work with this drive, and growisofs seems to be untested...

get_configuration is not a command to obtain available write speeds with... which feature number is that supposed to be?
