This is almost certainly a problem with the firmware on your CD-ROM drive not implementing SCSI properly. Texel was one manufacturer that had this problem. Try borrowing a name brand CD-ROM drive, such as a Toshiba XM-3401-B, and see if the problem doesn't go away. -- Rick Richardson, at home in Mtka, MN.
