Another question is "how wrong?" Obviously your first item is to contact
the vendor and tell him that you were not given what you paid for. I
have no idea if you can upgrade the firmware on this drive, if it has
the wrong firmware to start I certainly would not count on a flash
upgrade, if this drive even supports such a thing.
But before giving up, I might hack the cdrecord code to simply take the
speed you provide and omit the sanity check which limits you to 4x. It
is likely that the CD-R will then reject the command anyway, but you can
try for free.
