I know that bootloaders often don't contain code to retry if there are problems. It could be just that. For working with my 840AV (with original CD), I dug up some CDRs I saved for these cases, deep green ones (the old ones), or gold ones (the bottom side deep gold). I heard that old CDRs had a higher gain (+/- 33%), while "newer" (blue, specially lightblue and all shades between that and (light) green) have a lower gain.(+/- 25%) In general, try to get as dark CDRs as possible to avoid problems. And while I usually use dirt cheap CDRs for my modern machine, I buy brand CDRs for old machines (which means Philips, if you live in Eindhoven, NL like me). It really pays off. -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
