What do you mean by "afraid"? There are too many different programs
already, getting rid of a superseeded one is a bonus.

Ah, thanks for that info. The open-source patch for dvds doesn't contain
speed control. Really nice would be to display a warning to that effect.

I'd love to, but might not have access to the drive for a few more
weeks. When I have, I'll try it out. Could this be a SCSI
implementation problem? I could try the USB1.1 as well for comparison,
it will underrun the buffer, but not until after it's answered whether
it'll write more than 0 bytes. Anything else to try? There'll prob be
only one shot at the drive.

*That's* how to turn on burn-free... thanks!
