I haven't read any articles about problems with Apples CD-ROM. We have
an Apple CD-ROM. Some days It just wont show up on the desktop. The Mac
freeze and the CD-player tries to read from the disk. When I eject the disk
through the eject-button the Mac asks if I want to initialize the disk...
There is no problem to mount a music-CD: What is the difference between a 100%
music-CD and a CD which (also) contains files? Where's the problem? Is it
hardware or software? What's the latest version of the Apple CD-driver?
Summary: The CD can play Roxette, Lili & Sussie, ABBA and Beethoven but not
read Apple Explorer disk, BMUG PD-ROM or Phil & Dave etc.

My recommendation? Reinstall the Apple CD files from CD Setup ================================================================== Phil Hunt "Wherever you go, there you are!!!"
