Have you tried more than one kind of media?
This is really grasping at straws, but I have a really vague recollection of there being some difference in behavior depending on whether the media has 512B per block (block, sector?) or whether it uses 1KB.
Don't the MO drives usually work fine without any special drivers installed? I mean, things like ejectability may be affected, but I remember my experience being, plug them in, boot up and they act like a removable media device.
It may depend on what low level driver one put on the media, i.e. what utility was used to initialize the disk.
Oh, have you tried different utilities to initialize the disk?
I think I have a copy of APS 4.7 around here somewhere...
I know I have a couple of Fujitsu CDs with their software, but I doubt it's later than you have, since they came with 640MB external drives. I really like those 640 external DynaMO drives. The cases are stylish.
