Twin sectors as an AWS method won't work. For really weak sectors (1212, 14B9, 01B9, 7AB9, 7C12), one single sector is more than enough to cause a DSV far too high.
Then this is a major difference between CD-ROM and cd-audio. I wonder why did't they do scrambling for cd-audio. (Does this mean that if i write a SYNC command as audio data, then it will confuse the CD-ROM drive? )

The Patterns 659A and 04B9 do not work properly on any writer I know. Only a few Toshiba writers produce something readable as long as you only put one sector of these patterns. If a writer does not handle a certain pattern, then usually 1 weak sector is enough to render the preceding sector and the following sector unreadable as well
