A4000/40 + Fastlane + HP CD-Writer 4020

MakeCD version:
MakeCD 2.0
Computer:
A4000/40, FastlaneZ3/CyberSCSI/Blizzard, OS 3.1
Hostadapter:
Fastlane SCSI: z3scsi.device 5.820 (08/04/93).
CD writer:
HP C4324/C4325 1.27 (07/22/96), reselection enabled, async, fwc mode off, scsidirect dma on.
Other devices at the same SCSI bus:
QUANTUM FIREBALL 1280S 630C (12/20/95), reselection enabled, async, fwc mode on, scsidirect dma on.

SCSI hangups. Also executed z3scsidirectdma BUSTER11.

The problem I have is that the HP just refuses to function with cd-r in it that has already been written.

If I write a CD (on win95) and it finishes ok, and I insert it again to add an extra session the green led starts flashing like normal and after a while it should be on all the time (like it does when I insert a normal or blank CD) but the led goes dark and the whole CD writer is does no longer respond to anything I tell it. (in scsi mounter error reading device) and in the PEECEE, the writer software does no longer recognize it.

It used to function ok but one day it did not work as it should anymore. Today I heard from someone at work that he had upgraded the firmware form 1.20 to 1.27 and I will ask him to trie and re install 1.20 and then check if it will work. If not its defective if it does the 1.27 firmware is worse that the 1.20.
