I've just discovered that xmcd-1.4 can run in text mode without Motif.  
It has NEC CDR-210 support.  It also has 'NEC Vendor Specific' scsi 
commands for the non-scsi-I/II compliant command set in their older 
drives. I'm "hopeful" that this might work for me, but I'm not sure.

At least, it can be configured at a very fine grained level which 
commands to use...  Fingers crossed... :-)
