I have a SATA to USB3.0 adapter to use the old desktop DVDRW drive as a DIY external DVD Drive. However, it does not work with audio CD and any windows/CD9660 format cd/dvds. I have a "real" external DVD Drive and it works with audio cd and regular windows/cd9660. I compared with these two and found the one with adaptor just does not mount the CD as the other one.

with diskutil list, I see the differences
dev/disk2 (external, physical):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: *638.8 MB disk2

/dev/disk3 (external, physical):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: CD_partition_scheme Wieniawski; Bruch: ... *667.3 MB disk3
1: CD_DA 117.7 MB disk3s1
2: CD_DA 49.2 MB disk3s2
3: CD_DA 64.2 MB disk3s3


I tried to manually mount it via mount_cd9660 and it does not work. Anyone knows other commands to use? Thanks.
