Re: Can a IBM 4X CDROM read CD-R disc?

I'm going to sound off because my experience is the exact opposit of
Sasa's.

A colleague (a frequent contributor to this newsgroup) has been feeding
me CD-Rs. Not one of my older machines (PS/2, PC 750) could read a
single one of them.

I just got a PC 300GL with a superduper CD-ROM drive and it reads them
all.

So it depends on the CD-ROM drive, especially whether its older (1-4x)
or newer.
