Ed,
This is the result:
neil at debian:~$ cdparanoia -vsQ
cdparanoia III release 10.2 (September 11, 2008)
Using cdda library version: 10.2
Using paranoia library version: 10.2
Checking /dev/cdrom for cdrom...
Testing /dev/cdrom for SCSI/MMC interface
SG_IO device: /dev/sr0
CDROM model sensed sensed: SAMSUNG DVD-ROM SD-616F F100
Checking for SCSI emulation...
Drive is ATAPI (using SG_IO host adaptor emulation)
Checking for MMC style command set...
Drive is MMC style
004: Unable to read table of contents header
Unable to open disc. Is there an audio CD in the drive?
The answer is 'yes'. I've tried with several audio CDs. When I put it in,
the device light blinks for a while then stops. The contents of the CD
remain inaccessible.
This suggests to me that the drive is terminal, but I have no way to test
that short of buying a new one which I am reluctant to do until I am sure
it isn't something upstream (eg the OS misbehaving or misconfigured).
I've checked that the master/slave/c-s drive jumper on the back is set up
as Master, and the device is connected to the end plug of the ribbon cable
(although changing to the alternative plug makes no difference).
Does anyone have some guidance to give me as what to try next?
Neil
