There was some kind of problem, quite a while back, where I had to upgrade
some drivers to be able to read some CDs. (Sorry to be so vague, but I don't
recall the particulars.) Nevertheless, this does not feel like a firmware or
a driver issue. It seems more likely to be either the media, or the burn of
that media. Recall what I mentioned about the older SCOUG CDs that went
bad. I'd been meaning to bring them to the last couple of meetings (usually
some laptops there, not to mention whatever demo desktop may be set up), but
it just slipped my mind. Chance are that no one else would be able to read
those CDs, either.

Well, that doesn't sound too good. I'll let you know what the Pioneer thinks
of that CD.
