The CD-R also gives the scsi-ide timeout error as well on the 
Yamaha drives.

I guess the experiement to try would be to move my .iso image over
to the computer with the Yamaha CD-RW and burn an image there on
a CD-R (as well as CD-DW disk) and see if they can get read on
all the drives.

Who would have guessed all this subtlety in just burning a CD?  Shheeeesh!
