IMHO, the documentation for this is incorrect. DAO mode doesn't work on all CD burning devices using cdrecord, however TAO typically does. The exact command to use is dependant on the hardware capabilities. Our manuals are very wrong on this one I'm afraid.. but only likely because the commands work on all CDR units avail for testing I presume. -- Mike A.
