Yeah, I thought about this. This is more bizzare: the CD is a
gold-colored one manufactured by KAO. Before anyone says yes! media
problem!, this is weird: the SCSI 1x (by Sony) drive I have is the older
one, and reads the CD fine. The IDE drive is the
much newer drive, some 10x or something by Acer (I don't know who built
it). It could be possible, but maybe 10x drives can't read CDR media
properly? (it was written in a JVC 2x writer)

I found that up to quad-speed drives all CD-Rom drives could read any CD-Rs. At 6xspeed
the troubles started. Now it's totally up to the drive whether it likes CD-Rs or not.
This has got nothing to do with Linux or DOS or Win95, it's the drive itself. Funny enough,
generally SCSI-drives tend to be more willing to read CD-Rs then ATAPIs.
Just my two pennies worth ..
