Hi Nick, I use Audio/Data CD recorder with CDRECORD/2 all the time, you DO need the correct ASPI driver and Danis drivers (replacing the IBM ones). Then it all works. Audio/Data CD Recorder does not have a cd to cd copy function. I have downloaded a rexx program from HOBBES called CDCOPY that I use, but note, this CANNOT copy boot CDs and there is also a parameter wrong on the call to MKISOFS line in the code that needs to be simply removed. CDRWIZ is supposed to be able to copy CDs but I've never been able to get CDRWIZ to work correctly (other have however). Be careful when downloading CDRWIZ, for some reason the download won't work using NS 461. I use Mozilla or Opera. The problem you had with CD's not being usable could be the make of the CD media as well. I have had this problem a couple of times. I find my Ricoh CDBurner works fine with "cheap and cheerful" no-name CDR blanks but TDK and other expensive CD simply don't write correctly ! Good luck with setting everything up, drop a line on the list if you have any problems.

Audio/Data I've converted from CDRWIZ to Chris Wohlgemuth's Audio/Data-CD-Creator v0.51 this does have a CD to CD copy function, not sure about copying boot but its an excellent WPS based/intergrated system. http://www.os2world dot com/cdwriting/ These are folder classes for the WPS which work as frontends for cdrecord/2, cdrdao/2 for creating of Audio- and Data-CDs. Just put files/folders or shadows of files/folders into the Creator-folder and press 'write'. Full WPS aware. MP3 writing and decoding support. Prerequsites: -Warp 3 or 4 -EMX runtime libraries 0.9d fix3 -CDRecord/2, mkisofs, textmode grabber; optionally: cdrdao/2, z! >CDRWIZ is supposed to be able to copy CDs but I've never been able to get CDRWIZ to >work correctly (other have however).

You should be able to download cdrwiz from OS/2 Site, as I've setup Apache to recognise WPI (and RAR) files as binary downloadable files, which is why it fails from Roccos website unless you use some thing like WGet. http://www.os2site dot com/sw/mmedia/cdr/index.html Also find Chris's CDR program there as well. >The problem you had with CD's not being usable could be the make of the CD media as >well.

Very strange. I have no problems writing to any of them but I like to ensure that I will be able to read them 10 years from now at least. Emtec, and other cheap brands have helped me create a few coasters but TDK, Yamaha (Toa), Verbatim, and Sony have all been 100% unless I've done something really stupid.

Hi Gavin, How about I borrow a few current ATAPI models from work & give them a bash? The Liteon have had excellent reviews, but I don't know if they work with CDRECORD/2. For CD->CD copying use CDRECORD with CD-Creator as a front-end & Tonigy. Tonigy, an installable file system, makes CDs appear as an ISO image on a virtual drive letter & CDRECORD works with ISO CD images. So mount a Tonigy drive, tell CDRECORD/2 where the ISO is & burn:- I can burn from a quad CD-ROM to my quad CD-RW on-the-fly no worries. O.K. its an all SCSI P133 IBM 310 Server...

Aha, obviously a recent addition. I don't have it on v 0.43 that I'm running. I have 0.52 and will install and test the function. Even 0.43 had support to create Boot CDs but didn't have (as far as I could find) a data CD to data CD copy function. Cheers/2 Ed.

Full WPS aware. MP3 writing and decoding support. that sounds almost as good, and, perhaps better, than the long since defunct Unite CD Maker. CD Maker consisted of two templates (audo, data), one burner object. that's all, no application, just templates and burner object (and, some WPS classes....) you peeled of a template, d'n'd files (shadows, no physical transfer); then, d'n'd created object onto the burner object.

Depends on the "flavor" of Windoze. W2K Server has quite a good set of performance and problem tracing tools built-in. As for Virus scanning - all the big names seem to work together, so there's probably not a lot between them. Most people go for Symantec (Norton) or Network Associates (McAfee). the latter has a very good monitoring and control console, if you're running a large W2k network, it's a god send ! Cheers/2 Ed.
