99.99% work.  There is a small fraction that insist on not following SCSI
specs and won't work.

I have a Plextor 4Plex+ CD and it works like a charm.  I'd bet that other
Plextor products would work equally as well.  Plextor is a 'big name' in
CDROM -- usually the first with higher-speed drives.

What did you have in mind?
