When I first read this I thought you were quoting me from the other day, but
I think that was in a private mail :) I tried such a thing with a Yamaha
CDRW 4416S that no longer writes yesterday and it hung the bus - wouldn't
even self test :-/
Then I remembered I had an RRD43 kicking around so at least the install was
twice as quick....
