If reselection is off, everything seems to work, but there are buffer underflows sometimes when reading the data from the same SCSI hostadapter. I didn't test reading audio tracks a lot, but it seems the Philips CDD 2600 can read audio data in 6x speed without problems --- even the last audio track.
If reselection is on, there are SCSI hangups sometimes. If you transfer only one (e.g. ISO image) or a few (e.g. audio images) big image files, SCSI hangups are very seldom. On-the-fly image creation however causes SCSI hangups very often. After a SCSI hangup the SCSI LED of the A3000 is off, and you can still access your hard drives, but any try to access the Philips CDD 2600 hangs. If you try to abort MakeCD, it reports that the writing process is waiting for IO to be finished. That means that the Philips did not reply to a request sent by MakeCD.
Note: you can use Heinz Wrobel's tool HWGCTRLscsi to switch on/off reselection for the Philips CDD 2600.
