Many "Creative Labs" ATAPI CDROMs don't fully support the ATAPI command-set. I should know, since I have two ATAPI drives that don't work with FreeBSD, both Creative Labs rubbish. Your advice about the jumpers is sound -- also, make sure that the drive isn't configured as a slave on a channel that has no master. If you're convinced that the hardware is configured correctly, throw it away. :-) Ciao, Sheldon.
