Sigh. This sounds a bit like how the whole Balkan thing got out of hand.

Input to the original question: I've been running a Philips CDD3600
SCSI writer with 3.2-stable over the last couple of months. Works fine
with cdrecord. Every now and then it needs a knock over the head
with a SCSI reset (camcontrol comes in handy) to have cdrecord 
work with it. Smells a bit like a firmware bug. Other than that it works
just fine, no coasters yet (attributable to the drive that is, the
only one I made was trying to force 800Mb on a 74min CDR ;-)

It's signature:

cd1 at ahc0 bus 0 target 3 lun 0
cd1: <PHILIPS CDD3600 CD-R/RW 2.00> Removable CD-ROM SCSI-2 device 
cd1: 10.000MB/s transfers (10.000MHz, offset 15)
cd1: cd present [54776 x 2048 byte records]

It is a 2x writer, so not fast by todays standards. But around here
the are cheap, US$200-250 I think. I traded mine for a tape drive.
