In order for some models to work as fast as they do, they must perform unconventional operations such as a laser calibration in the lead-out area to determine, by a voltage measurement, the approximate position of several tracks. It occasionally happens with some CD recorders that the session lead-out is not recorded completely correctly, causing problems when this area is used to calibrate the reading laser. Other Potential Problems SCSI Cables Ensure that your SCSI cables are of good quality and working properly, and that the SCSI chain is correctly terminated.
Any software can sometimes produce incorrect tracks due to bugs or recording glitches.
A good way to check whether the incompatibility problems lie with the originating software or with one of the other causes listed above is to test the same disc on several CD-ROM drives. If one drive is capable of reading the disc back correctly, chances are that the problem was not in the recording, but is one or more of the other factors listed.
