90% of the time a jammed cdrom drive is caused by rough handling, I've seen many beat up drives servicing PCs.

usually in most cdromd drives, once you get right into the guts, on the underside of the tray there is a slot or grove, in the grove is supposed to be a little lever, if the drive is abused, sometimes the lever will jump out of the grove, and leave you with a jammed drive.

some pics from some random drive I found in the trash

the slot on the underside of the tray

the lever

it is possible to fix if your carefull, have patience, and an hour or so to kill.

I made few tests, not all SCSI-2 drives work. Plextor seems to work perfectly for example, Waitec dont.
It's not a OS issue, the SCSI management files have no problems detecting the drives. It depends of the DTS.EXE and/or the TC firmware.

Bye
