I added a dev=1000,1,0 to address the Pioneer drive. I get:

Drive current speed: 32
Drive default speed: 40
Drive max speed : 40
Selected speed : 40

There was no disk in the drive at the time.

With one of the Pioneer disks I get:

Drive current speed: 18
Drive default speed: 1
Drive max speed : 1
Selected speed : 1

My output differs from yours without a disk:
Drive buf size : 1267712 = 1238 KB
FIFO size : 4194304 = 4096 KB
41 00 00 14 00 00 00 00

With a disk I get:

These lines are missing from my output:

I assume you mean :
export CDR_FORCESPEED=true
cdrecord .....

which yields:
Drive current speed: 4
Drive default speed: 1
Drive max speed : 1
Selected speed : 1

I left the same disk in the drive and repeated the command with -force.
I got:
Drive current speed: 4
Drive default speed: 1
Drive max speed : 1
Selected speed : 1

As far as linux is concerned the drive has DMA enabled. Here is the
output for hdparm -I:

The drive is a 7170A, labelled Sony/NEC Optiarc firmware
rev 1.02.


I repeated the dummy commands for the Optiarc drive and
it too does *not* show the

lines.


Finally, I tried readcd with a RAM disk in the Pioneer.
It gives:

readcd dev=1000,1,0
Read speed: 2770 kB/s (CD 15x, DVD 2x).
Write speed: 2770 kB/s (CD 15x, DVD 2x).

Which agrees with the result using dd.
