No mine is a: TSSTcorp 'DVD+-RW TS-L532B 'DE03"
as reported by cdrecord --scanbus

Part of the problem here I think is that I wanted to be able to use a

will not be helpful. But it is strange that that : cdrecord -prcap doies
not work since its output illuminated the read and right speends of the
drive.
