I think y'all must have all missed this thread on the -scsi list. Donald already posted this to -scsi, and Justin suggested that it may be a bent pin on the connector on the CD-R drive. That would explain why the other devices work fine, but the CD-R doesn't.

It could be the connector on the CD-R, and not the cable. Unfortunately narrow SCSI devices have the pins on the device instead of the cable. It's much better, IMO, to have fragile things like pins on the cable, which is much cheaper to replace. > >> Anyway, as I said, my other SCSI devices (hard drives, scanner, etc.) are > >> working fine.

It doesn't rule out the connection, since the cable can be good and the drive connector can be bad.
