I have a machine with two CDRoms in them (both SCSI).  One is a 16X
CDRW, the other is a Plextor 40X CD.  The burner can read it with no
problem.  The Plextor cannot.  When I burn, I use DAO and burnfree.
I've also tried it without those enabled, same thing.  I have not tried
slowing the burn speed down (currently burning at 16X).  Maybe I could
try at 4X and see if it makes a difference.

I don't think it's a coincidence that the burner can read the burned
disk and the regular CD cannot.  Note: I only use high grade Yamaha CDR
blanks.  These are not CDRW blanks.
