Cdrecord had in theory never less features than cdrwrite-2.0 after I ported it to
Linux a year ago. Cdrecord, however does automatic drive recognition and
for that reason some "re-branded" drives were not known by cdrecord and could
only be used after hacking the code.
Cdrecord-1.5 introduced a driver= option that allows you to manually configure
one of the drivers if you have a drive that is not explicitely known by cdrecord.
>From this time (about 2 months ago) cdrecord is even in practice able to handle
any drive that cdwrite handles without a need for a hack.
In addition, cdrecord-1.6alpha handles:
Plasmon RF-4100
Sony (and the like)
TEAC (and the like)
SCSI-3/mmmc (even the Panasonic CW-7502 which has some bugs/deviations from MMC)
ATAPI SCSI-3/mmc drives
CD-RW (including blank option)
