I just purchased A Mitsumi 05S, and after some struggling got the driver to read the interface card (the address dip switches had not been in the default position.) The MSCDEX.EX seems to run correctly and it assigns a drive number to the device. But every time I try to go to it I get a drive not ready message. And the PLAYCD program doesn't get the drive to do anything. Does anyone have any experience with this. I suspect it's the ribbon cable which which has a rediculously loose fit on the drive and card. Does it matter which end goes to the drive. Also, when I open and close the drawer the busy light flashes on for a second and I hear motor noises. Is that common or might the internal power cables be loose? Any info would be appreciated. thanks, Roger. PS Is it true this is photo-cd and cd-xa capable with special software? What about multi session?
