This is the real error and means the drive doesn't properly support the media you're using (quite common when using new media with old burners). You could try finding newer firmware for it, or maybe crossflashing to a DRU-510A, but the easiest solution is to buy a new burner, as they're pretty cheap nowadays

You should be able to find info on how to cross flash it in this thread.

Don't bother, the drive is still ancient and not built for today's media. You'll just be changing one relic into another one.
