iBook2 and CD/RW overburn support



Hello folks,

As many other iBook2 combo drive users I burn CD/RW discs with my
favourite notebook, cdrecord and Debian GNU/Linux. I can succesfully
write data on 650 and 700 size MB CDs but actually I have no success
with overburning this type CDs.

I have the SONY CD-RW CRX800E combo drive on my iBook, IDE-SCSI
emulation on latest benh kernels allows me to use this ATAPI writer
as a SCSI device with cdrecord.

I have successfully backported the latest cdrutils package and the
xcdroast package from Debian unstable to stable, this software tools
support the overburn option.

But as far as not every CD/RW supports overburnig I would like to ask
if someone has any experience with the SONY CD-RW CRX800E writer and
overburning CDs? I would just like to know if this kind of hardware
supports overburning or not.

Thanks for pointers and feedback,
have a nice evening,

 I.
