Thanks for getting back to me.
I do have the lastest version of Image Burn installed.
Firmware HQ does not list TSST brand CD writer.
Thanks for telling me where I can find old Image Burn logs.
Here is a log where TAO failed, and then I successfully burned the project with SAO:

If TAO causes problems with some readers, then perhaps it is good that I was unable to write in that mode.
