You might try burning the CD at a lower speed.  It is very interesting
that the same drive that works in one system gets a media failure in the
other.

Do you have the drive setup as a master or slave?  If it is a slave you
might try setting it up as a master.

If a 6600 used paper tape instead of core memory, it would use up tape
at about 30 miles/second.
