Hello,
Out of curiosity, which kernel are you running? I've posted a question to this list earlier about the issues I was having ever since switching to YDL 2.0 on a linux-2.4.11-benh kernel (Subject: linux-2.4-benh kernel tree Firewire problems). I'm wondering if it's time to update it again. I had everything working nicely while running Linux/PPC on my QPS Que!Fire (external firewire) 16x10x40 CD-RW drive using SCSI emulation and a similar setup linking /dev/scd0 which was made useable by the sbp2/ohci1394/ieee1394 module drivers. I can't seem to recreate it now that I'm running YDL - although it may be due to changes in the driver. I've yet to determine which.

X-CD-Roast (a nice GUI over cdrecord and mkisofs) normally suits most of my needs - although the last time I tried it, it only supported writes up to 8x (at least through the GUI). If you haven't seen it already, check out http://www.xcdroast.org/
