I'm stumped by a problem I'm having getting my Philips 1208 CD-RW working in DAO mode with _anything_, especially CDRDAO.  The new CDRECORD (with DAO option) fails every time, and I tried to make CDRDAO do it, but it complains and errors out when used with my drives defaults of generic-mmc, advising me to use generic-mmc-raw.  I used that, and it created an audio CD that was about as pleasant to listen to as a cat getting dragged through a mud puddle.  I know for a fact that my drive is indeed MMC-compliant and does DAO (used the hated Micro$oft environment to prove it), and yet the only two programs out there for Linux barf on my drive.  What am I doing wrong?  Is there _anyone_ out there at all who has had luck with a Philips 1200 series drive anywhere?  E-mail responses would be appreciated.  Thanks,
