The drive might be not 100 pct. compatible with the ATAPI standard. There were
problems with some drives which simply didn´t work on msx ide. Timing problems or so?
Try to use the direct read routines by Henrik Gilvad for IDE.(COPY/DIR etc (COM files))
Though, I don´ t know if they work with the latest bios but they should do.
If this fails you better get another cd drive.
The one I used on my msx was Acer 40x, and worked fine with msxcdex and direct
routines.
IDE standard says that the cable must be no longer than 50 cm.
Maybe your cable is too long?
BTW does anyone know why the limit is 50cm??
