A little while ago I got one of those drives. I managed to get it to read cd's but never managed to get it to burn successfully. The drive had fifo errors about 17mb into the burn and I was told lowering the speed might help. I ran it at 4, and another contact got the drive to error out with fifo errors at 20mb with a speed of 2. I'm wondering if going with a speed of 0 is likely to get me and this other contact any better results. The drive on my machine at the time I was using it was at sdb1 and was the only sdb type device being used. x
