I have the same type, firmware revision and all. Reading from it as
well as software eject works fine (sadly my drive suffers from the
mechanical problem with the eject mechanism that seems to afflict
most of these drives with time, so I have to use the manual override
or the drive will jam after a handful of ejects).

Writing, however, will require that we change a mode page bit to
enable it. This should probably be handled through a quirk entry
or something.

I can't easily check the part number now.
