[ltp] IBM T42 CDRW Speed

[Rainarrow]

TDK is good discs. Try taiyou-yuden or Mitsubishi
Personally, I don't care a lot about burn speed. Sometimes you won't get 
perfect discs at full speed, especially for CD-DA.
And, I doubt if there really is a in-firmware-mediaType-speed-mapping. I 
tend to believe most burner use some pre-defined programs in their firmware 
to determine the burn speed, as well as some other paramaters. (Laser output 
power, etc.)
However, I agree on you for the "market crap" thing. Maybe some large 
companies is better?
