Thanks.  Just tried it.... coaster.

I guess I could drop back to ide-scsi and see if that makes any difference.
A few search results included Jorg Schilling saying:

  "What do you expect when you use low quality media on a low quality
   drive?"
   http://lists.debian.org/cdwrite/2003/10/msg00093.html

I wouldn't regard verbatim as low quality and I used not to have this
problem with this drive.  I guess it's possible they're just a bad batch of
cds.  Will see if my brother has problems with these disks on his Mac.

Thanks,
Gavin
