    I was not able to write anything "on the fly" with k3b <= 0.11.4,
which was a pipe problem in k3b of cource. K3b is just graphical
frontend to mkisofs/cdrecord/..., so it should not be responsible
for any hardware damage. I used to think there's no way software can
do any real damage to a hardware device, but it seems that latest CD
Writers are a piece of crap... so try updating your firmware as
suggested in some other replys.
    I wonder where the world is heading to... I have *old* FDDs and FD
controllers (more than two years old) that still work fine, but all
new ones can not survive ten rewritings.
