>  Are you using  10.1.x or 10.2x ?

I just reinstalled 10.1.5 With the old 10.1.5 install a "normal" boot 
didn't never see the CDRW but if I did a verbose boot, then the CDRW 
was seen in 98% of boots.

Also, if there was a need for updating the kernel extensions cache, 
then also a "normal" boot did see the CDRW.

Yes, there should be no difference in "normal" and verbose boot but 
at least with my system a verbose boot takes slightly longer and 
updating the kernel extensions in "normal" boot takes also longer. 
AppleScript Update 1.8.3 also lengthened the boot process 
considerably and the CDRW was seen with a "normal" boot.

Previously I suspected that the slightly longer boot process somehow 
fixed some timing issue so that the CDRW was recognized.

But after I reinstalled the system I can no more accomplish this. 
Maybe I should add more junk to the system to make it act like the 
old install...

In 9 the CDRW works 100% and in 10.1.5 it worked just a few days ago 
before I had to reinstall X. I haven't touched the cables or the 
termination but maybe X is more sensitive to bad cabling because with 
the old system it worked only 98% with the hacks mentioned above.
