I am trying to get an Imation 8432 EIDE writer working on Linux. The
problem is, whatever magical incantation of "cdrecord" I use, it only does
the "dummy write" -- the flashing lights on the front indicate that the
drive is only in test mode, it's not writing!

Help! the cdrecord man page says that

              Some  Devices
              (e.g. Philips) need to eject the medium before cre�
              ating a new disk. Doing a -dummy test  and  immedi�
              ately  creating a real disk would not work on these
              devices.

Is this my problem?
