You may want to try this but I don't know if it will help.
"cdrdao scanbus"

For me, it gives:
Cdrdao version 1.1.9 - (C) Andreas Mueller <andreas-gmq7i8MYz+g at public.gmane.org>
  SCSI interface library - (C) Joerg Schilling
  Paranoia DAE library - (C) Monty

Check http://cdrdao.sourceforge.net/drives.html#dt for current driver 
tables.

Using libscg version 'schily-0.8'

ATAPI:0,0,0          _NEC    , DVD_RW ND-3550A , 1.05

Then I use "cdrecord -v dev=ATAPI:0,0,0 file.iso"
Does it show anything useful?
