[George Johnson]

If it is usb v1 then the limit should be 4x.  Try that to see if it works.

No, speed=1 is speed=1 on any drive.  If you can't burn at a higher 
speed, then either the media is lousy, the hardware is lousy or a bit of 
both.  I personally wouldn't have a burner that would require me to burn 
at 1x.

Could it be a limitation of the interface? (usb)
