further checking reveals that the drive I have is not listed either
as supported OR unsupported. it falls between the 7200 and 8100
series HP devices. as for the datasheet on the device itself,
according to HP, the drive does support MMS (DAAO) modes. not
sure why cdrecord missied this, but it did.
