Hi, about one month ago I recognized that my Plextor 412 (which worked very well for several years now) can't burn faster than 1x anymore under FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE. I'm not quite sure if this is a FreeBSD problem, a cdrecord problem or a problem of the drive itself. Here's what I get when I try to burn some image faster than 1x:
