It's an older drive.

cd0: <PINNACLE RCD5040 1.51> Removable Worm SCSI-2 device
cd0: 3.300MB/s transfers
cd0: cd present [1 x 2048 byte records]

It *has* worked but for audio CDs, just once.

HMm, looking around on Google for info on this drive's mechanism brings me *lots* of bad news. Looks like the $20 I paid for it on eBay might gave been too much after all.

I couldn't have found this out before I bought it, since the seller didn't know what the internals were, but I know better now.

It seems to work OK for data CDs, though. How annoying.
