About 5 years back I worked for a small software house that distributed their product on in-office burned CD-R's and we had a series of issues with this. After speaking to a guy at a company that worked on optical hardware we found that it was a common problem at the time.
I think that this has been fixed in drives that have been produced in the past few years. CD-RW's on the other hand are a different matter though. There are a few different technologies employed in CD-RW drives, (read, write and re-write all use different processes to do their thing).
Sorry, this is getting windy ...
I have a 3 year old Ricoh SCSI CD-RW drive on my A3000 and I have had many issues reading RW media on the drive via WB3.5. I have tried the built in stuff that comes with 3.5, AmiCDFS and some other PD driver and have had issues with all of them regardless of media type and quality. Normal CD-R media does not have an issue though.
I would like to know if there is an answer to this problem as well, since I am constantly moving files from my laptop to my A3000 and it is a waste of media. I would much rather use RW and be able to reecycle.
Thanks,
Mike
