FWD disks on 53c720 on C110 should work these days.  Either use a recent
kernel, or use the workaround in the 0.9.3 ISO errata.  They wont work on
the 735 because the processor on that box doesn't support consistent
memory (pci_alloc_consistent() fails).

My parisc boxes don't like CD-RW disks either, but are quite happy with
CD-R disks I burn myself.
