Has anyone ever seen this...

I have an NEC 6X SCSI CDROM. About a week
ago I was trying to install some FreeBSD src
and got a wierd error in the install script.
I looked at the line and it read:

        cat s${i}.>? | tar --unlink -xpzf - -C /usr/src

I thought, what the hell is the > before the ?? I then
tried to tar tvzf a package and got a CRC error.

The CDROM is fucked, but sparsely. Most of the data on
a CD is readable. The disk above was a 2.2.6-RELEASE, I
just put in a 2.2.5-RELEASE and the errant data is
exactly the same.

I tried cleaning the drive. No difference.

Has anyone seen this before? I have read these CDs fine
before. Nothing else has changed. It is attached to a
BusLogic PCI adapter.

I'm not on the list, so...

Any insight is much appreciated.

Thanks,

Dan
