There are some great bargains around for scsi burners in the pc
world - old Yamaha 4/2/6 cdrw's go really cheap in the pc auctions -
similarly with HD's and other scsi devices which are not obviously mac
but supported by third party software - like NEC, Plextor, Pioneer and
Traxdata etc.
An ebay search for 'scsi' items is very interesting....

Try another burner application to see if the problem is software or
hardware - charismac.com do a demo of their Discribe 5 cd burning
software which will allow five free burns. Their list of supported
devices is here.....
