Drive Not Terminated
If your CD-ROM drive is the only SCSI peripheral attached to your computer or is the
last SCSI peripheral in a daisy chain (i.e., a cable connecting multiple SCSI peripherals
to a single SCSI interface board), check that its termination switch is ON. Always turn
the drive OFF before changing the setting of the rear-panel switches. See Chapter 7.

Possible Causes and Solutions
Audio CD Disc in the Drive
Plextor CD-ROM drives are capable of playing high-quality audio when used with
appropriate audio playback software or when the drive is set to Audio CD play mode
(see Chapter 11). Since audio compact discs do not have computer data, typing
standard data commands when an audio CD is in the drive will result in an error
message.
