`cdrecord -prcap` doesn't work w/ my drive.

`cdrecord -scanbus` says:
        1,0,0   100) 'PHILIPS ' 'CDRW/DVD CDD5263' 'UD91' Removable CD-ROM

is it yours?


$ hdparm -tT /dev/scd0

/dev/scd0:
 Timing cached reads:   2512 MB in  2.00 seconds = 1256.45 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads:    4 MB in  3.22 seconds =   1.24 MB/sec


Copying a DVD seems fast (is it?):

$ dd if=/dev/scd0 of=/tmp/removeme
2599680+0 records in
2599680+0 records out
1331036160 bytes (1.3 GB) copied, 225.104 seconds, 5.9 MB/s


Finally, I never got any problem when reading or burning from k3b.


Regards,
