Hmm speaking of this, do I still need to use ide-scsi in order to
use packet writing? AFAIK I do need to use it for cdrwite.

I'm not sure I get it. This or other way here are bytes from beginning
of file.

[root@pepsi cd2]# od -t x1 ncd19r.tar.gz | head -75

And using tar shows that beginning of file is ok as well.

[root@pepsi cd2]# tar ztvf ncd19r.tar.gz
drwxr-xr-x mrbill/mrbill 0 2000-03-06 14:48:55 ./
-rw-r--r-- mrbill/mrbill 2435664 1999-10-31 14:58:00 Xncd19r

gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--format violated
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

btw: is the 450mb of 650mb the penlaty I pay for using UDF over ISO9600
and for using RW instead of RO?
