Hiya,

I have a Plextor IDE 16/12/10A drive. I'd get all sorts of writing errors until I turned on Burn-Proof on the drive. I had to dig around the cdrecord mailing list to find the flag. Here's the command I use:
cdrecord -vvvv -dev=0,0,0 driveropts=burnproof speed=16 $@

Once I've switched to this command, things work flawlessly. I don't always burn at 16x (it varies depending on the source -- either my nfs mount or my local drive or even a dynamically created isofs.

I doubt your older drive has Burn-Proof. But in the rare case it does, here's the flag that may just save you a few coasters.

(go ahead and mark this offtopic, I don't believe in overclocking anyway).
