My cdwriter is: (scsi0:A:3): 10.000MB/s transfers (10.000MHz, offset 15) Vendor: TEAC Model: CD-R56S Rev: 1.0F Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 I upgraded to cdrecord-1.10-4 and now it hangs just after displaying information on the media record, and before burning datas (so that I don't waste any CD-R). The LED blinks forever and I cannot open the tray, even after having killed cdrecord. Downgrading to 1.9-6 fixed the problem.
I did the same test again and now both versions 1.10-4 and 1.10-5 work perfectly. Maybe the problem was related to something else (?).
Well... let's close, will reopen if needed. Where is the VANISHED button? ;)
