I have 2 OW disks and they work just fine. According to specs their
reliability is the same as nornal MO disks.

RW CDs killed almost all removables.

And about 2KB sectors related problems, I confirm what I wrote in my previous

(kernel 2.4.3, old aic7xxx driver, adaptec 2930CU, Fujitsu GigaMO, PowerPC
750)
