I'm having some troubles with the stock (teac 512s?) cd-rom drive in my powerbase. It seems to read manufactured apple formatted cds without much trouble, but homemade cds often give it a problem. Sometimes the drive seems to labor in the beginning as if it is looking for information to mount. It often hangs the machine as it presumeably searches and fails to find a proper directory. Once a disk is mounted problems occur less frequently. I have tried using both the FDW? (stock) driver and apple's universal driver.
- Could the drive possibly need to be calibrated, or could the lens have clouded or deteriorated with time? Anyway I was wondering if I could install an ide cd-rom drive as a slave to the existing ide hard drive. If not, is there a scsi cd-rom drive which someone might recommend?
