Wow, that's odd.  Nothing significant has changed in CAM in the past month
or two, so I don't know why it would start working again.

I'm not sure what'll happen if you use a drive in SCAM mode with FreeBSD...

If you can figure out a way to configure it to have a normal, fixed SCSI
ID, that would probably be better.

Okay, so the start unit certainly is being sent.  But since things work
correctly now, it would figure that they're being sent. :)

You neglected to cut-n-paste the meaning of 0x57,0x00:

"Unable to recover table-of-contents"

I would suggest trying a couple more CDs before declaring it dead.

Also, see if it can play an audio CD.
