Rather than copying the entire block that you included, it then seems 
that the IDE to SCSI bridge has a problem with support for the CD-RW 
command set. Seems quite odd as the command set has been around a LONG time.

The only issue I see perhaps, is that SCSI has the ability to disconnect 
from the bus while the device operates on the command. Then when the 
device is ready, it signals the host that data transfer is ready to 
begin, the host acknowledges and the device starts the transfer. Now 
blanking a CD-RW does not require such, HOWEVER, the IDE CD-RW device 
may not be cooperating fully and get the bridge and/or the host adapter 
confused about the device's state.

Lets be clear, writing a CD-R has NEVER been a problem on this setup, 
correct????

I had a Plextor SCSI CD-RW drive that I sold last year. I successfully 
blanked CD-RW discs with the SAME S/W that we are talking about now.

I recognize that this is a pain, but have you looked on eBay to see if 
anyone is selling Plextor SCSI CD-RW drives????? They won't be new, for 
sure.

I see that Panasonic sells a new DVD/CD-RW with its own brand of SCSI to 
IDE adapater on the back of the drive. At $229, its a bit pricey, but 
that is another possible solution that I found at www.pricewatch.com
