Using the original internal SCSI Chip "WD33C93A-PL" from WDC I had to disable reselection for all drives, otherwise I had scsi timeouts and transfer errors.
Using the scsi chlip "AM33C93A-20PC" from AMD these problems have disappeared and I could reenable reselection.
This timeout problem first appeared with my IBM Harddrive using the directscsi version of AFS so I switched back to the normal version. But with the Sony CD Writer this problem was unavoidable. Perhaps this problem won't appear if you don't have a IBM Harddrive.
