In article <82901@hobbit.UUCP> I wrote about problems I was having
with an old Apple CD-ROM borrowed from a dealer, while waiting for
delivery of my own drive.  Of course, I should have posted a week
or two earlier; about 2 hours after posting, the dealer phoned to
say everything had arrived.  When I took my new drive home and set
it up, it worked with the CDs which had failed earlier, even without
installing the new software.

So, both the drive and software were out of date, but it was the
hardware which had caused the problems, not the software as I had
suspected.  I have now installed the new driver software as well,
of course, and I have not had any problems reading any digital or
audio CDs since.

I received some email replies saying my driver was out of date,
and letting me know the up to date one was available by FTP from
apple.com.  This is of limited use to those such as myself without
FTP access; perhaps Apple could consider adding more of these files
to the 'Developer Essentials' stuff on the develop CD-ROMs?
