Cdrecord's website (as well as cdrdao's) states that it won't work with the drive if it has firmware <4.14, because it isn't compliant with SCSI standards or smth to that effect. You have 4.10. If I were you, I'd upgrade the firmware to start with. OTOH, I have the same CDR with 4.17, and it doesn't work under Linux. I'm quite desperate at this point -- have been trying for 3 months, and no luck -- cdrecord (and cdrdao) both crap out at the very beginning of the burning process, saying threre's some SCSI retryable error. Have to boot into Win every time I want to burn a CD. :( So, my advice for you is to first try 4.14, and only if it doesn't work, then try the 4.17. AFAIK 4.17 doesn't have any significant improvements. See http://homepages.tig.com.au/~cdysan/cw-7502/ Oh well, I won't whine any more -- this doesn't help *your* problem. At least your drive starts recording. I'm considering downgrading firmware to 4.14 just to try -- maybe it will work...
