[Dvdrtools-users] combo drive teac ddw-552g won't record CD-RW

[Yury Tarasievich]

Hello,

Drive in question is teac ddw-552g revision N4K1, with declared write  
speeds 52 for CD-R, 32 for CD-RW. DVD part is read-only. When recording  
CD-RWs (with dvdrtools and cdrecord 1.10 and cdrecord 2xx, both  
"bastardized" and "pure"), operation seems to complete normally (but see  
next paragraph) but then I can't mount this same CD-RW on this same drive  
with diagnostics "no superblock or... blah-blah". This same CD-RW can be  
read on this same drive via dd. This same CD-RW mounts fine on other  
drives. CD-RWs recorded on other drives mount fine. Nero 6.3.* works fine  
and its recordings mount fine. All kinds of CD-RWs I have are affected --  
5" 0/4 speed, 5" 4/10, 3" 4/10. More, nowhere in -prcap or elsewhere is  
cdrw and 32x mentioned.

The only thing in diagnostics that looks unnormal (to me) is that drives  
returns scsi page 0x2A with size 70 while previously declaring it to be 76  
bytes, resulting in wrong size in capabilities. But as it's a warning, not  
error, I don't know whether it matters.

regards,
Yury.
