Download the Apple 1.3.5 CD/DVD Driver, you can get it at 
www.chickensys.com/translator/download - put it in your extensions folder, 
disable the newer one and enable 1.3.5. Restart. Your EXS probably will see 
it then.

The problem (although yours seems different) is that the newer versions of 
the Apple driver do not report the disk areas other than the Audio one once 
the Audio area is reported. This affects all Mac programs that attempt to 
read any Audio/proprietary Mixed-Mode CD, as it's an Apple problem in the OS.

This answers the other chaps' direct question as well.
