It have 1.06 firmware (flashed yesterday, before I used 1.04) and it's
alone as a secondary master. I can't check hardware revision because I'm
in different part of city now.

Interesting. Have you ruled out a posibility of defective unit?
Can you try it in other, preferably Windows, box? Can you try with
cdrecord-ProDVD? What does "atacontrol mode X" reports? (X is 0 or 1
depending on the channel you have unit connected to).
