Interesting. I find that all versions of cdrecord after 1.6a1 do this,
and
this is due to a change in the software resulting in the FIFO being
enabled 
by default, rather than needing to be explictly enabled, as in earlier 
versions.

I see this on 2.2.2-RELEASE and 2.2.5-RELEASE - I'm using the worm
device to 
drive a CW7502, Ricoh MP6200, Philips Omniwriter and a CDD 2000, BTW.

Workaround (for cdrecord at least) is to set CDR_FIFOSIZE=0 in the
environment
or use '-fs=0' on the command-line, thus disabling the FIFO, apologies
if this 
was already known (not subscribed to the SCSI list).

It'd be nice if the SCSI driver were fixed 'tho - the whole idea of the
FIFO
is to enable on-the-fly mastering from NFS and other network
filesystems.

Cheers,

AS
