We'll 'lshw' shows:
product: TOSHIBA DVD-ROM SD-R2412
capabilities: packet atapi cdrom removable nonmagnetic dma 
lba iordy audio cd-r cd-rw dvd 

so I'd assume cd-rw means read write:

Also the Toshiba web page:

SD-R2412  	
Slim-Line Combo CD-RW/DVD-ROM Drive (24x CD-R Write/8x DVD-ROM Read)
Show all Combo (Slim Line)
With the introduction of SD-R2412 into the market, Toshiba has suceeded in
leading the optical drive standards for the notebook market. This slim
combination drive boasts read speeds of 8x DVD, 24x CD and write speeds of 24x
CD-R, 10x CD-RW making it one of the most ideal drives for mobile multimedia and
storage use.

I guess it's possible it's not support to be a cd rw, but that
is not likely?

Maybe it's crippled in firmware, because I do not run winblows on the
portable?

Dunno...
I'm going to test writing to a one-shot disk now...
