We have a Grape 333Mhz iMac with similar issues in reading burned CDs. The tray-loading CD-ROM is essentially a laptop CD-ROM drive. Laptop drives can be sensitive to both the brand of the CD-R/RW media and the burn speed as well. I think this is due to a lower tolerance in the range of variations (different burners, different media) in the microscopic data pits on the media that they can handle.
I've found that my Memorex 24x 700MB CD-Rs usually won't read on the grape iMac CD-ROM, but a no-name brand (Ridata I think?) 48X CD-R do mostly work. Anyway, you might try a different brand media and/or burn at 1-4x to see if that helps. -Tony -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
