Try to put an 80pol. ATA cable (intead of a 40pol.) one in.

As it has been suggested, try to use a differentiated form for
your devices, such as

/dev/acd0 /writer cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0
/dev/acd1 /dvd    cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0

Your "new" command would be:

	# mount /writer

or

	# mount /dvd

according to the device.

If you put a media in, first check if it gets recognized
correctly.

	# cdcontrol -f /dev/acd0 info

or

	# cdcontrol -f /dev/acd0 info

If you prefer your DVD "not-writer" to be the default device
for reading CDs or DVDs (I do so, I use the writer only for
writing), you can set CDROM environment variable to that device
anbd you don't have to include the -f option anymore.

Defective media?
