I just installed an old Plextor CD-RW drive as the IDE slave to my DVDROM drive. It reads fine (better, actually), but when I try to use K3B to erase a disk, I get this...

This is wodim, not cdrecord. Don't expect it to behave like cdrecord in any
way, don't refer to it as "cdrecord". Send problem reports to
debburn-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org, don't bother Joerg Schilling with any
problems caused by this application.
