I went into the 2940UW Bios and checked, and yes, there was a 'parity check' 
and a 'synchronous negotiation' option (by default 'parity check' is enabled 
so I didn't have to touch it).
So I disabled 'sync negotiation' for SCSI ID#6 - where the NEC CDROM resides 
- saved the change and rebooted the system. Again popped an audioCD in the 
CDROM and tried digital transfer via the Warp3 audioCD player; also tried 
Leech/2 - a program for grabbing audio tracks digitally off an audioCD - but 
with NO luck. Digital transfer was *still* not possible.
 GU> Hope this helps.
Unfortunately, it didn't.
How does I go about reporting this error/bug to IBM's Warp people?
