Hello,
 I am using Mandrake-7.02.  

I am trying to use cdrecord to write on an ide CD-RW drive.  
I can write to CD-R just fine, but it doesn't work with any CD-RW
media.

I have no problems with real scsi drives.

I downloaded the new cdrecord  src for RedHat, recompiled and it does
not help.  

Here is what I get.  Any ideas would be appreciated.

P.S. I hope no one worries that I was attempting to write
     RH-6.2!

-cheers,
 -sen

My system:

It writes in dummy mode just fine (I think).
