Yep that last could get very troublesome down the road. I just recently
had trouble with a CD-ROM disc (Britannica 2000 FWIW) which is flakey in a
new DVD-ROM drive and new DVD +/- R/RW drive - it had occasionally burped
in my old 32x CD-ROM drive but nothing disastrous. In the new system w.
new drives, it is completely unreadable at anything above 4x speed. I
dunno if the disc is deteriorating or if it's the error recovery strategies
of the new drives - they seem to want to spin back up to higher speeds as
soon as they manage to backup and restart the read. CDSPEED Disc Quality
Test shows loads of C1 and C2 errors. It took the better part of an
afternoon to make a decent CD-R copy.
