The error below is an illegal/invalid opcode.  It doesn't really indicate a
failing drive, as far as I can tell.

I would suggest either not specifying the speed, or specify a speed that
both the media and the drive can handle.  Some media have a minimum speed.

If that doesn't fix it, send mail describing the problem to
cdwrite@other.debian.org, or Joerg Schilling directly --
schilling@fokus.gmd.de.
