I have been having problems with my Sony ATAPI 4x CD-ROM that sound a
little bit similar. Using both workbone and cdtools I get complete
locks when I try to do a cdstop or cdeject before the disk has
finished playing. The IDE bus seems to lock solid and any attempts to
access any drive hang. The cd drive will not open or the system work
again until I have power cycled the whole machine. I am using
2.0.22...
