...but from your January post, it didn't work very well in Windoze?
My CORDS experience is similar - after the drive has been writing for
so long it doesn't want to know anymore, so it's much easier to burn
small images than large ones.
I guess it's not impossible that the lubricant on the track has dried
up and the head is no longer moving smoothly, so a tiny drop of
silicone oil might sort it out. This is sometimes the problem with
audio CD players that crap out after playing a few tracks. I haven't
tried it as a cure for CORDS though.

CORDS is a drive problem, and strikes SCSI as well as IDE...

? It terminated with an error after 110something megs and the fifo
puts != the fifo gets.
