[Sheflug] cdrecord anomolies ...

["Chris J" <xxxxx [at] xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Does anyone know why cdrecord would write a disc at 12 speed when I 
requested 24 speed (see dump of console below) ? I'm copying a CD over SCSI 
from a Ultraplex 40 speed drive to a Plexwriter 12/10/32S. Just bizarre - 
only things on SCSI bus, and having not much CPU used (in fact I've got a 
dnet client running at the same time, which tends to chew CPU time :)

Suggestions on a postcard ... console dump follows :)

Chris...
ps, I've /just/ noticed that the model as returned by a SCSI interrogation 
is PX-W1210S ... wonder if its a firmware problem (1210 implies it's a 12x 
write to me ... Off to research).
