I've already had some problem with the cdrom but the problem came
from incompatibility of the IBM hard disks with the others SCSI peripherals
after 3 month of fight with IBM I have been refunded for the hard disk.
I bought a new one (quantum) and all my problems vanished!


I hope that these informations will help you to resolve your problem.
