Who would ever design a device that was supposed to stop working when 
it received an unknown command?  Obviously there's a bug either in the 
device or in the JMicron adapter.

What commands does cdrecord send and where does it fail?

Oh yes, one other thing...  Have you tried hooking this drive directly 
to an IDE cable (avoiding the USB-ATA adapter) to see if it works okay 
in that environment?  If it does then you know where the bug is.
