I have a windows machine with two CD drives on a SCSI daisy chain, and I 
couldn't get the CD-RW to write - OK, not a cdparanoia problem, but I 
sent emails back and forth for weeks with the Adaptec support but got no 
solution. I often wonder whether linux would handle the situation 
better, but as for cdparanoia on my linux box, this is the only CD I am 
having problems with. I have ripped CDs since without problem.
