check the -atip option of cdrecord.
I've copied the output of 'cdrecord dev=2,0,0 -atip' below. There is a
blank CDR in the drive. I don't see where it is telling me how much
space is available on the disc. Can you help me some more?
Thanks!

In theory the drive is capable of writing from the "start of lead in" to
the "start of lead out" which (for data) gives you 359848 - (-11634) =
371482 sectors of 2048 bytes (or roughly 725MB). However to write this
much (or anything more than the specified 700MB) you have to use the
-overburn option. Without -overburn you can roughly burn from 0 to
"start of lead out" or just over 700MB.
