Hi Bruce, I suspect that the problem is the media, the drives or the combination.
Optical drives (and FDDs) are the first things to fail in computer. Add to that the fact that media incompatibilities are quite common. When we re-task older PCs as terminals, which we try not to do more often than necessary, we commonly unplug the power cables from the floppy drives, hard drives and the optical drives because they are all probably bad (or unnecessary) anyway.

The CDROMs will be music CDs as well as data CDs. -- ============================= Gene Cooper Sonora Communications, Inc. 936 W.
