That would be no problem here. Also, I just did it for backup purposes
so that people without knowledge can bring the machine up in the
case of a disk failure by just changing the id jumpers.

Hmm, as long as the kernel detects it as a worm, it's up to cdrecord
to do the correct things.

According to the README of cdrecord-1.6a12
--------------------------------- snip ---------------------------
Cdrecord has been implemented with a Philips CDD 521.
Cdrecord now is maintained with the following drives:
COMPRE/Matsushita/Panasonic CW-7502
Philips CDD-2000
TEAC CD-R50S
--------------------------------- snap ---------------------------
!!! Attention !!! The Makefile in sysutils/cdrecord used to make
the wrong link. The correct way is to let scgx point to rworm0.ctl
and not sgx. It has been corrected in the Makefile on Mar 27 23:14:05 1998.
I have here a Yamaha CDR100 working on a 2940UW with
rtprio 1 cdrecord -v -eject -debug speed=4 dev=6,0 isofile.iso
Good luck,
-Andre
