If you have an older scsi cdrom (especially one of those SoundBlaster
integrated with the soundcard) they can be a real bugger to get
working. I had one of these on my old P90, and it took a lot of
fiddling to get it working. If this is the problem, mail me privately
and I can take you through what we did :)
