The obvious springs to mind. Have you tried cleaning the reader head? Use one of those CD head cleaners from record shops. Although it might read pressed CDs they are shinier and look clearer to the reading head than a burned CD. A bit of dirt could affect it.
The other consideration is that a 9600 is getting a bit long in the tooth. I made a conscious decision to rest one and not try any upgrades. Do I understand you have installed OS 9.1 on it? Is this wise? It strikes me that the time you have spent getting an old machine to work would have been better spent earning the money to buy a new G4.

Well it seems happy with the OS 9.1 disk, will sometimes tolerate a CD written on another Mac containing scanner software, but keeps throwing out CD's written on Win2K machines. The writers in these are what are used for our scanning service and no failures have been reported to date, so I think it's fair to say the CD's should be OK. >> =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
