Additional feedback, at the moment I was able to test with two CD-RW's
(both failed). Below is the output of four tests:
a) show the drive capabilities
b) scanbus
c) dummy blank a 10x-24x imation cd-rw
d) dummy blank a 1x,2x-4x maxell cd-rw
I perfectly understands that c can fail since the 'current' write speed
says 4x (however i feel that i should not fail). On another cd with
lesser requirements is actually start to do the simulation but stops
after that with an awkward error. I have at the moment no capabilities
to test if it is a software of a medium issue.
On the other hand. When I just removed the -dummy the blank of the last
disc (maxell) seems to work (but I'll have to reburn my knoppix :'( ).
Which apart from the dubious drive / cd-rw capabilities solves this
issue for my (and probably others as well).
thank you.

E.
