I notice a slight difference in the messages from cdrecord when I
write using these: The newer, non-working writer messages contain an

have anything to do with the CDs being unuseable on any other
computers?
I wouldn't think so - from cdrecord man page:
driveropts=option list
Set driver specific options. The options are specified a comma
separated list. To get a list of valid options use
driveropts=help together with the -checkdrive option. Currently
implemented driver options are:
burnfree
Turn the support for Buffer Underrun Free writing on.
This only works for drives that support Buffer Underrun
Free technology. This may be called: Sanyo BURN-Proof,
Ricoh Just-Link, Yamaha Lossless-Link or similar.
The default is to turn BURN-Free off, regardless of the
defaults of the drive.
noburnfree
Turn the support for Buffer Underrun Free writing off.
