  i've got a bunch of non-standard sized CDs
  (mini-CDs at ~51MB/6min, a few 800MB/80min).
  they're all blanks. i've also got a IDE NEC
  CD writer. the non-standard sizes don't show
  up as anything in cdfs (the small ones show
  up in /dev/sdD0, the big ones don't). is
  this a known limitation of cdfs/#S, or a
  problem with my hardware (never tried it on
  any other OS)?

trying it elsewhere is obviously a good idea.
i have an unopened spindle of 800MB blanks back
at school that i'll try next week.  

i don't think it's a known problem.

try doing "scuzz /dev/sdD0" and type
"rdiscinfo" (at the invisible prompt).
