Don't know if this is still there, but there used to be bugs in the Mitsumi driver that would get it confused sometimes. You might wish to try ejecting the CD-ROM and putting it back in again a couple of times. I think there was some sort of race condition that kept it from sensing that there was a CD in the drive, but opening the door and closing it again generally made it feel better. - Gene Stark
