Does write speed affect the quality of the CDR? Well, AFAIK some CDR are marked "all-speed". Those are probably a better quality and the suffer less problems if the writer speed is high and/or the difference in speed between the device that wrote them and the device that reads them is relatively big. > Also, are gold on gold CDRs supposed to be better?

I usualy buy Philips "rainbow" CDR's, but other named brands like 3M are probably ok too (I don't want my email address to suggest any prejudice ;-) .) I'm not so very sure about the quality of noname CDR's, but then again your needs for quality may also vary. The price is nice but not really spectacular.

Re: cdwrite trouble: SENSE_ERROR
Thanks to all who offered help on getting my Yamaha CDR400tx (1.0d) CD recorder working, especially to Nathan Norman who pointed me to http://www.shop.de/cgi-bin/winni/lsc.pl where I discovered that cdwrite-2.0 does not support the CDR400tx but that cdrecord-1.5 does. There does not seem to be a Debian package for cdrecord (is someone working on this?) so I built it from the source at ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/cdrecord/cdrecord.tar.gz and it works great! I do seem to have a reliability issue with some fairly cheap green on gold CDRs. (US$4 ea @ qty 100 with a black label thermally printed on them by a local company -- supposed to be Sony CDRs, but they were totally blank before being printed). The cdrom drives on a couple of our UNIX boxes can't seem to reliably mount them if they are written at 4X, but (so far, at least) they seem to be OK if written at 1X or 2X. Does write speed affect the quality of the CDR? Also, are gold on gold CDRs supposed to be better? I found what I think is a pretty good deal on some HP C4432A gold on gold CDRs at CompUSA -- qty 25 for US$70 minus US$20 rebate (limit two on the rebate).

A question related to this: is it posible to force a driver to unload, even if it says 'device busy'? I have a QIC-80-WIDE tape drive, which doesn't seem to understand the 'eof' command. If i issue this command and then start a 'tar -cf ...', tar crashes with a stack and register dump from the kernel (or whatever those numbers are supposed to be) and the tape device stays 'busy'. If I then try to load the floppy driver, the kernel completely crashes with an awful lot of (register|whatever) dumps on my screen that keeps scrolling for about ten seconds and then stops.

I burned some cd's tonight, but I also had a hard time with the writer before I could effectively use it. After typing cdwrite --dummy --verbose image.iso I decided after 5 seconds that I wanted to add a parameter "--speed 2" to the command line and pressed ^C. I got the prompt back, no error from cdwrite, but the writer was locked up. I could not even open the tray anymore (exept with brute force.) cdwrite would only give errors and could not even determine the device model anymore (a Philips cdd2600.) Only after turning the computer off and on could I get it to work (and I did not press ^C anymore :-\ ) Joost -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

I can't interpret that SCSI error, but you can write to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and there are people on that list who can help. Could it be a data underrun? I would suggest burning CDs in single-user mode until you are sure about that. My Pentium 90 can burn CDs in multi-user, my 486 never could and had to go single-user to burn a CD.

cdwrite trouble: SENSE_ERROR
Greetings, I am having difficulty writing a CD using a Yamaha CDR400tx on a Gateway2000 P5-90 (using a BusLogic B-958 SCSI card) running Debian 1.3.1 (cdwrite 2.0, mkisofs v1.11). This same CD writer seems to work on an NT machine. The CD-Writing mini-Howto talked about using scsi devices such as /dev/sg[a-h], but my box has /dev/sg[0-7]. The CD writer is SCSI ID 1, but is the only device on the chain, so I guessed /dev/sg0, and that seems to be right since the following successfully ejects the CD: # cdwrite -v --eject --device /dev/sg0 cdwrite 2.0 Manufacturer: YAMAHA Model: CDR400t Revision: 1.0d Using mode:Yamaha Using speed: 2 But when I try to write a CD I get the following errors: # cdwrite -v --device /dev/sg0 UnixCD.iso cdwrite 2.0 Track 01: data 26 Mb Manufacturer: YAMAHA Model: CDR400t Revision: 1.0d Using mode:Yamaha Using speed: 2 mode_select6#2 result 0, pack_id 12 sense 70 00 05 00 00 00 00 0A 00 00 00 00 26 02 00 00 18 of 18 mode_select6#2 reply bytes: 00 00 00 00 31 02 00 10 59 41 4D 41 48 41 20 20 43 44 write_data_track result 0, pack_id 14 sense 70 00 05 00 00 00 00 0A 00 00 00 00 20 00 00 00 18 of 18 write_data_track reply bytes: 00 00 00 08 00 00 00 00 00 00 08 00 48 41 20 20 43 44 SENSE_ERROR iter 1: pipe_to_cd result 0, pack_id 15 sense 70 00 05 00 00 00 00 0A 00 00 00 00 20 00 00 00 18 of 18 pipe_to_cd reply bytes: 00 00 00 08 00 00 00 00 00 00 08 00 48 41 20 20 43 44 SENSE_ERROR iter 2: pipe_to_cd result 0, pack_id 15 sense 70 00 05 00 00 00 00 0A 00 00 00 00 20 00 00 00 ... and so on until I kill it.
