Many moons ago I bough a Sony DVD burner.
It worked in Linux from day one - worked extremely well.
I finally ran out of my supply of DVD-R and bought another 50 spindle.
It will not burn to them - first spitting out the disk and sucking
back in, and then failing when it comes to the burn.
I recently bought a spindle of 50 CD-Rs.
The first three I burned were in non-sony drives (pioneer DVD burners
except I don't recall whether one of the three attempts were in my Mac),
and all three were coasters.
I don't recall having CD coasters resulting from burn errors before.
It happens I have a Sony CD burner, came with my thinkcentre. It can
burn the CDs.
Sony's on my no-buy list.

You made coasters on non-sony drives. You have used a Sony CD burner and it
can burn the CDs...and Sony is on your "no-buy list"? Sorry, the logic
escapes me.
FWIW, I've got Sony DRU-830A and have yet to burn a coaster on any media.
I've used/had multiple vendors drives. All of them "just worked". I've
never found the need to update firmware. I've learned, a while back, not to
get to cheap on the media.
