This has been tried with the DVDRAM as slave (above) and as master on the other
bus - same result.

burncd was tried with the following result:

fred# burncd -s 4 -e -f /dev/acd0 data MUSIC.iso fixate
next writeable LBA 0
writing from file MUSIC.iso size 3598254 KB
written this track 3598254 KB (100%) total 3598254 KB
burncd: ioctl(CDRIOCFLUSH): Input/output error

The same behaviour occured under 5.3-RELEASE


Any help greatly appreciated (I've used 14 blank DVDs out of a box of 15 so far).
