Please reply to me directly, I'm not on the -questions mailing list.

I'm going through hell trying to get my external Ricoh RW7060S CD-RW drive
(I know.. this drive sucks) to burn CD's again. I worked for a week or so
and I haven't touched anything.  Now when I try to burn CD's, I get "Media
Errors".  I tried all the obvious things, different recording speeds,
moving the internal cable away from powered things, different cables,
terminators, CD's (both CD-R and CD-RW), rebooting, and even moved the
CD-RW drive to a Windows box (ugh!) so I could flash it with new firmware.
It always bails out in a different spot even with the same CD in the
drive. It's strange as hell and I'm just short of ripping apart my
equipment or throwing this CD-RW drive into the garbage.  If anyone has
any clues, let me know.  Of course, remember that I'm not a complete idiot
and I have everything all taken care of config wise, this WAS working a
week ago.
