  | The header output says:

All that looks fairly reasonable, and suggests that cdrecord believes
it is working correctly.

It also suggests that the drive is not toast, as it is at least able
to find the manufacturer and size of the blank CD you inserted.

Another test you can do, to determine if the write is happening at all,
is to try to re-burn one of the CDs that you have already (tried to) burn=
=2E

If nothing every got written, that would "work" again.   On the other han=
d,
if the write got somewhere, then the 2nd attempt will fail.
