I have problem with an ASUS DRW-1609P with both 5.3 and 5.4. It won't
write any media. Even "burncd" fails with the following error:

(Yes, I know I have "test" mode on, I got tired of making coasters)
> burncd -f /dev/acd0 -s max -v -t data file.iso fixate
> adding type 0x08 file mp3.iso.aa size 720000 KB 360000 blocks
> next writeable LBA 2136
> addr = 2136 size = 737280000 blocks = 360000
> writing from file mp3.iso.aa size 720000 KB
> written this track 1120 KB (0%) total 1120 KB
> only wrote -1 of 32768 bytes: Device busy

Relevent line from dmesg:

acd0: DVDR <ASUS DRW-1608P/1.17> at ata1-master PIO4

atapicam doesn't fix it. UDMA doesn't fix it. GENERIC kernel.

Reading works fine.

Suggestions?

Same with:

acd1: <ASUS DRW-0402P/D/1.05> DVDR drive at ata1 as slave
acd1: read 5511KB/s (5511KB/s) write 2755KB/s (2755KB/s), 2000KB buffer, PIO4
acd1: Reads: CDR, CDRW, CDDA stream, DVDROM, DVDR, packet
acd1: Writes: CDR, CDRW, DVDR, test write, burnproof
acd1: Audio: play, 256 volume levels
acd1: Mechanism: ejectable tray, unlocked
acd1: Medium: no/blank disc

I simply use it through ATAPICAM layer with cdrecord - always
worked perfectly.

Would be interesting to know why these devices don't behave properly.

Ok, let me ammend this a bit... cdrecord _does_ work. I had tried
burncd and growisofs (using CAM) for the ATAPI and ATAPICAM methods. So
apparently I can burn cds using atapicam and dvds using dvdrecord (from
savanah, this should really be brought into ports). I would like burncd
to work, as I don't like opening my entire bus to just write optical
media. Any clues on where I should look for this?
