where would the sense code be at.... unless its that bunch of hex digits
it prints right before I get the error message.

as for the drive, its an HP - cdwriter 8000+ cdr/w (4x2x12)

other than that, I didn't have the url for the page
you mention. on top of everything else, my network has been
real flaky today (thanks a bunch to qwest for losing my account, 
AGAIN!). 

I haven't tried it with the generic/mmc-raw modes yet. I just don't
like having to resort to winblows to get something done that should
be easily accomplished in linux.
