It was a multislice solaris cd, could that cause problems? Burnt from a
single image.... I threw a burnt disc in it today though, from the mac, and
it read fine as far as I can tell (sol10 x86, opened a license doc)... It's
a rather ancient sun external, got it with some IPX's

I'm desperate for a scsi drive capable of
reading CD-Rs! If anyone has one,
anyone at all, I'd love to hear from you! (External especailly, but I can
swap drives in an external housing if needed, I guess)
The *only* SCSI drive I've ever had that wouldn't read CD-Rs was an
external HP. Don't remember the model, but it was a 2x-4x reader. Even
my old Macintosh external, may it RIP, would read CD-Rs.
Nobody else has mentioned it, but most older (4x or slower) readers
will hurl on a multisession or an "open" CD-R. Burn your CDs
single-session, and be sure to close them. If your hardware will do DAO
burns, that's always the best bet.
