CDR 101 -- Not Ready
Reading Drive [X]
Errors Occur Intermittently
Possible Causes and Solutions
Defective CD-ROM Disc
A fingerprint or other contaminants or deep scratches on the disc’s surface may prevent
the drive from reading data. Read Chapter 11 to learn how to clean CD-ROM discs.
If the problem persists, try setting the AUTO switch OFF. This setting reduces the data
transfer rate to 150KB/sec, making it possible to read some marginal data. Normally
the transfer rate is 600KB/sec for the data region of the disc and 150KB/sec for the
audio region. Always turn the drive OFF before changing the setting of the rear-panel
switches.
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., along 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.
