The original Apple CDROM drive will read the commercial "pressed"
CDROMs (like the Redbook one) with no trouble, but cannot read the
CD-Rs that you burn yourself.
Incidentally, I have a NEC 2x drive model unknown (no label on it)
which works with its own Control Panel under Mac OS, but isn't
recognized by NetBSD. Any one familiar with it?
