Have you test it with cdwrite -y ? I think this is a cheaper hardwaretest. :)

I am using an Asus-SC200 NCR-Hostadapter. My Hardisk is SCSI on the
same adapter and the CD-Rom, too.

If there is only _one_ session on your masterdisk, try this:
--------------------------------
[root] ~: more burnhot
#! /bin/sh -
CDROM="/dev/scd0"
size=$(isosize $CDROM)
if (test $size = 2162688) then
echo Keine Master-CD im Laufwerk!
exit
fi
echo "CD-Groesse:" $size Bytes
cat $CDROM | buffer -p 75 -m 10M | cdwrite -v -b $size -s 2 - &
renice -20 buffer
renice -20 cdwrite
-----------------------------
The writer is a HP4020i (CD2000) and the cdrom is a Toshiba 3601
quadspeed.
I have done more then ten cdr by this script without a problem. I can
use the computer very hard when I am burning. It works like a dream!!
BTW: This works only if there is one session on a the mastercdr. If
there are more sessions than you got only the first one. Perhaps a
kernelproblem? I can't understand why cat /dev/scd0 not give the full
cdr.
And now a look inside of my computer when I cut a CDR. (486DX133)
