Hmm... I can't remember that. I *do* read data and audio toc with cdrecord, that works. It would be an option to always use cdrecord to read the toc, check the reported toc types and continue accordingly. > It might be a problem with the SCSI controllers we use.

Strange. I know that I read regularly CD toc (data, audio and mixed modes) using cdrecord on the Teac burner (56S) as well as on the Plex40. I don't use cdda2wav for reading toc (didn't even know it will do that without any further ripping). Terminators are active (or the ones on a Ultra device)? Your card may use high speed signals which have more agressive flanks then the pure UW standard. A passive termination is probably not able to handle that.
