XCDRoast seemed to recognize mine; but, warned me that it would be 
slow and probably fail.

Also, I noticed that multi-session burning didn't work in gcombust even
though it has the little radio button for it.

I also have a pretty screwed up, old, cd burner, that barfs everytime
I try to use DAO, which xcdroast requires for multi-session burns...
though it's not clear that cdrecord requires it.
