I remember a very old SONY cd-rom reader capable of reading very

having some cdrom interfaces.
sorry for my bad english :)
Those CD Doctor "cleaners" (they actually do a minor
resurfacing of the disc) have rescued several discs
for me.
Is there
anybody on this list who knows a way of recovering flaky CDs?
Easiest first step is
try using different kinds of CD/CD-R/DVD-R drives.
I have found some 'unreadable' CDs could be read using a DVD drive.
