But Solaris choked on this disk and another CD-RW disk in quite an odd way, in my opinion. It should be possible to eject the disc without using cdrecord. It shouldn't be the case that the device comes into a 'not ready state' just because it has a disc on board which it doesn't  recognize. When that does happen though, the machine must be rebooted, before the device returns to "ready state", now, this is hardly advanced to my taste. 

If you did not write the CD-RW in a way that allows your local drive
to recognise it as already written, you cannot blame Solaris for this
problem.
