Ultra Speed CD-RW media and cdrecord

[Doug Poland]

Hello,

My son gave me a package of Memorex Ultra Speed CD-RW blanks for
Christmas.  I was going to burn an ISO on my 5.3-STABLE system but ran
into a brick wall.  

cdrecord tells me that it's "Trying to use ultra high speed medium on 
improper writer."  I've used "MultiSpeed 1x2x4x" media and "1x-4x
Compatible" media in the past with no problems.

Here's a transcript of the failed session:

jericho# cdrecord -v dev=3,0 blank=all 4.11-RC2-i386-disc2.iso
cdrecord: No write mode specified.
cdrecord: Asuming -tao mode.
cdrecord: Future versions of cdrecord may have different drive dependent
defaults.

FWIW, I've tried forcing it with various speed=x arguments but to no
avail.  Any suggestions?
