R/W errors with SCSI CD drive

[pVC]

I'd say the CD-RW drive is broken or dirty, if it does it for all CD:s. Optical drives aren't very long lasting things... I've had couple of drives which broke down and usually the problem comes first with recognizing the cd.

Usually things work without termination too, if you only have one or two devices on chain, but better have them in correct way anyway I don't think either that unitcontrol can mount cd-drives... at least I have mountlists. How unitcontrol could know what filesystem to use etc? Anyhow, it still sounds to me that drive isn't working physically or you're trying damaged or noncompatible discs. Some CD:s just don't like to work on some CD drives If the drive was posted, maybe it's got damaged somewhere?

I'd try with different drive too.. or drive on other computer. I guess you can find free or cheap SCSI CD-ROM drives somewhere for testing... or HD for overall working of your controller...

FrankBrana: Use scsiconfig program to set HD:s synchron and you can use myunitcontrol (from aminet) in user-startup to make cd:s synchron.

motorollin: leave caches on if you don't want slowdown in cpu It affects quite much. Only in extreme hopeless situation switch them off
