   The *only* SCSI drive I've ever had that wouldn't read CD-Rs was an 
external HP.  Don't remember the model, but it was a 2x-4x reader.  Even 
my old Macintosh external, may it RIP, would read CD-Rs.

   Nobody else has mentioned it, but most older (4x or slower) readers 
will hurl on a multisession or an "open" CD-R.  Burn your CDs 
single-session, and be sure to close them.  If your hardware will do DAO 
burns, that's always the best bet.
