Yes it used to to work w/ Adaptec EasyCD back in the old days on the same
machine but I no longer have dual boot so I use a set of CDRWs and rotate
them. Maybe something to do w/ adaptec having been disclosed some unknown
specs by samsung that are not available to Joerg Schilling the author of
cdrecord ? 

And belive me I have even written to Joerg directly (before he stopped
personal email correspondence wrt cdrecord) and he gave me to believe that
it was a kernel bug. I do get a lot of scsi errors when I am using
cdrecord.
