Yes I also bought Gear in the hope of getting a working product. As you say at the time these were the only two options. With such new (and expensive) technology every manufacturer adopted their own standards at least with the move to Atapi from SCSI the MMC standard has brought some sense to the technology !

Hi Daryl, The Sony I looked at is a CRX-195A1 (I think) made in April 2002, so I guess it'll work nicely. It only has a 2mb buffer though. Cheers G ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **= Email 3 ==========================** Date: Wed, 14 Aug 2002 20:02:55 +1000 From: Ed Durrant Subject: [os2genau] SW: Audio CD Creator Well I have to say that version 0.52 of Audio-CD creator has an extended graphical look. It looks somewhat similar to CDR Wizard in some ways. Indeed there now is a 1:1 CD copy function using CDRDAO, all looks good. running in test only mode the read appears to work but when I go to really copy a CD, it fails complaining that it cannot clear the ATAPI buffer. Has anyone else on this list successfully used this part of the program ?? As for Gavin's choice of SONY CD-RW, that particular model is not listed in the documentation but a general comment is that any SCSI-3/MMC complaint writer (which Gavin's Sony model is), should work OK. Cheers/2 Ed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **= Email 4 ==========================** Date: Wed, 14 Aug 2002 21:03:38 +1000 (EST) From: "Ian Manners" Subject: Re: [os2genau] SW: Audio CD Creator Hi Ed >Has anyone else on this list successfully used this part of the program >?? Yes but only with real SCSI CDR's. Make sure you have set the parameters in "CD-Creator Settings" The other thing, I wrote the raw image first before writing to a fresh CD, as I did 101 copys (no spelling mistake :) >As for Gavin's choice of SONY CD-RW, that particular model is not listed >in the documentation but a general comment is that any SCSI-3/MMC >complaint writer (which Gavin's Sony model is), should work OK. Compliant ;-) Hope its not a complaining writer.

It still needs to create a temporary CD image file, so if you are short on HDD space, you are out of luck :) As previously mentioned, I use Tonigy. I'm using a 8MB RAM buffer for CD-Creator settings. I think my TraxData 4260 CD-RW has a 1MB buffer. **************************************************************** 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. **************************************************************** On Wed, 14 Aug 2002 21:09:55 -0400 (EDT), Paul Smedley wrote: >Ed, >Have you setup pages two and three of the DAO setup in the Audio CD Creator?

I suspect this is what is happening with a laptop I've configured with In-Joy 2.3. I've got a line in startup.cmd to delete resolv if it wasn't deleted when the PPP link was terminated but I've seen the situation where if resolv2 exists resolv isn't read, even though it exists & the PPP link is up. I've written the script below to solve this problem. It runs at condition: "start at host connect" in In-Joy.
