Looks kinda like garbage.

And that looks okay.

I doubt this is the problem, but what happens if you reverse the arguments:

cdrecord dev=0,4,0 -data usr8.cd

You don't have to try it, since it's unlikely that that's the problem.  The
cdrecord usage information kinda indicates that things subsequent to the
"-data" are tracks to burn.

Well, it appears that cdrecord is able to talk to the drive, since it gets
back the correct inquiry information.

So, I doubt this is a CAM problem.

I would suggest contacting Joerg Schilling <schilling@fokus.gmd.de>, the
author of cdrecord.  He may know of issues with that particular drive, or
cdrecord, that would cause the above problem.

Sorry I can't help more,

Ken
