Aopen 52X CDROM, Plextor 48/24/12
AMD Barton 2500, A7N8x-Dx Rev 2, Nforce 2.45 drivers, BIOS 1004
Win2k, Sp3 , patches ...
Desktop 1024*768 @ 16 bit colour
Starfury also @ 1024*768

3 things seem to happen with my Starfury CD on running the program.
1. Happy happy joy joy
2. Clunck-chuggedda-vrrrrrrrrrrr-zoooom-vrrrrrr, but it still loads, and once it's running, the CD stops making interesting noises
3. No cd detected in drive. Pop out tray, pop back in, and go back to step 1 or 2.

I also haven;t heard any CD's make noises like the one coming out of the AOpen when it;s working on Starfury. It whrrrrs like a blank disc sometimes, but then makes sounds unique to it.
As i said though, it does play.
