   	I had to do some digging around, for I got rid of most of my   
   CDROMs long ago. Anyway, I did find a few, and I can indeed mount them   
   without any problems using the troublesome DVD units. Notice that those   
   devices are DVD RW devices. It is still the case that they can't   
   recognize the medium when insert a DVD in them.
