Absolutely ... assuming you can eject the disc before the TOC write is
complete.

It would work.

No, it doesn't. On a Sharp portable, which has automatic end searching, you
can do the exact same thing; just insert a full disc, press PAUSE to make it
pause at the start of the prewritten track 1, and then go into record. It
will overwrite just the same as a Sony portable does if you don't press its
END SEARCH button. You can get the best of both worlds.
