What do do when neither cdrecord/burncd work for me anymore?

burncd doesn't require SCSI support, though cdrecord does.  It's stopping
before writing any data at all, which makes me wonder: Is there only one
CD burner in this system?  Is it located at /dev/acd0c?  Is there a CD in
it?  Is the CD blank?
