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.

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.   >>
