Sorry for the correction to the correction, but it seems to be mesh's
fault (or a cabling problem) after all - I tried the burner with one
type of cd-recordables on an i386-ahc and macppc-mesh -- i386-ahc
worked fine, macppc mesh gives me `mesh0: timeout state 3' as soon as
'real' commands are sent to the drive. -- dummy writing works until
the fixating step, while real writes fail before the real write
starts. (using cdrecord).

Any hints? What does 'timeout state 3' mean?

Bye,
 Thomas
