Okay, maybe I'm smoking something, but my understanding of CD-ROMs playing CDDA consists of a program sending the appropriate message to the SCSI driver so that the "play" message gets sent across the SCSI bus to the CDROM. I am unaware of any further need for the program (or any part of the entire computer including the SCSI controller for that matter) to interact further with the CDROM to keep it playing. A cdrom player that shows the current time might need to do so, but to simply play this is unecessary.
What happens if you quit your CD player program after starting the disc playing?
I tried that... Not better... It still is jerky...
Is your CD routed through your soundcard? If so, try routing it directly to your speakers or stereo by using the headphone jack on the front. Does it still skip?
Yep, tried that too. It is still the same.. Seems like the CD is spooked by something.
This may have to do with some use of the SCSI bus that is confusing the CD-ROM.. but it seems unlikely to me that a CDROM would be confused by signals sent to other targets.
This jive with anyone else here?
SCSI ID 2: Seagate something SCSI-1 CCS hard drive (not sure what CCS means...)
Common Command Set. The canonical SCSI-1. This is because stone-age scsi was too extensible (read prone to incompatability).
Ok... Could it be that the old disk somehow confuses my CD? It is an old macintosh disk (from '94 I think), and that may not be a good thing (I guess)... Like I said before, when running X it's
