Basically this too is my reason for wanting to write at 1X.

Thank you, but this very drive with this very media used to burn at 1X 
under SuSE 8.1, so I donøt think the hardware is to blame.
An other poster informs me that in particular CD-RW media may mandate 
a minimum write speed.
Perhaps the older cdrecord did not take into consideration the media 
ATIP information, and the new one does.

Best regards :o)
