Has anyone burnt an 80-min CD-R on a 7200i / CDD3610 under Linux?

After hearing the whispers that the HP CDWriter+ 7200i / Philips
CDD3610 can happily burn 80-min CDs, I've upgraded my 7200i's firmware
to r. 3.09, and have tried burning an 80-min audio CD. It seemed to
pass the OPC, and appeared to have no trouble with the first track,
but then cdrecord spat this out:

Track 01: Total bytes read/written: 31641456/31641456 (13453
sectors).
cdrecord: Input/output error. flush cache: scsi sendcmd: no error

Sense flags: Blk 0 (not valid)
cmd finished after 124.045s timeout 120s

Now the cdrecord man page says that

The following message is not an error:
Track 01: Total bytes read/written: 2048/2048 (1 sectors).
cdrecord: I/O error. flush cache: scsi sendcmd: no error

Sense flags: Blk -2147483609 (valid)

It simply notifies, that a track that is smaller than the
minimum size has been expanded to 300 sectors.

This error looks just like the one I have, but the track size on mine
is 30MB! Not smaller than the minimum size, one would think!

The command I used was
`cdrecord -v speed=2 dev=0,0,0 -audio -pad *.wav`.

I've managed to record the same set of audio tracks on a 74-min
Imation CD-RW. So has anyone out there used an HP 7200i or a Philips
CDD3610 to burn 80-minute audio CDs successfully? I've read many
times that it can be done - but how?! Any help much appreciated!
Thanks,

Paul.

And now the details:

The CD-Writer's the slave on ide1 (/dev/hdd), and I'm running
Slackware 9.0.

Here's the relevant stuff from `dmesg`:
