Bryan,

Sorry for having confused 'device' and 'bus'.

Exactly. I did a cdrecord -scanbus, and I am clearly using the correct 
device (3,0,0). The box has an on-board scsi controller which is not used 
(bus 0 and 1) that causes the 'cdrecord-prodvd: Warning Linux Bus mapping 
botch.' messages. In addition the box has a RAID controller that is seen 
as bus 2 by the OS. The IDE-SCSI devices are 'mapped' onto bus 3:

# cdrecord -scanbus

So, I am sure that I am using the correct device. Actually also 
cdrecord-prodvd tells me this:

Device type    : Removable CD-ROM
Version        : 0

The problems only start later. There must be something else going wrong:

The question is why the 'log sense' and all the other commands are
considered to be 'Illegal Request(s)'.

BTW, using stock RedHat cdrecord the drive burns CDs just fine.

If I find the time I might just try to use the drive on a IDE-only PC and 
see how it behaves. However, I suspect that it is merely the problem of 
some driver missmatch.
