Hi,

I've received my NeXT CD-ROM (w/out 3.0), and I'm having problems
playing CDs.  I'm running 2.0, ('040) and I think I've hooked up
the CD-ROM correctly because:
  1. the scsi id (4) does not interfere with 
     scsi id 1: 100M drive
     scsi id 2: 660M drive (both internal)
     scsi id 7: motherboard (I think)
  2. I can read ISO 9660 disks, because I've been able to look at
     the SIGGRAPH '92 proceedings from the disk.

But when I put in my Joe Satriani CD, I get a panel that says
'can't read disk, do you want to initialize'.  Upon 'ignore'ing,
the disk gets ejected.

What can I do to play the CD's (I have CDPlayer0.8, btw)?  Are Audio
CDs some kind of 'other' format that can't be read?

Also, I don't get the NEXTDISC icon when inserting a disk, but rather
a folder -- why is that?

Thanks in advance!!  Please mail me as well as posting (but no
nextmail please).
