New beta of RSJ CD Writer at ftp.rsj.de:/pub/cdwos2/beta

Mar  9  5:59     1,084,747  cdwos2d.exe
Mar  9  5:59     1,254,742  cdwos2fr.exe
Mar  9  6:00       982,193  cdwos2us.exe

Moderator note: At least the English version (cdwos2us.exe) identifies as
version 3.51

Following is a small part of the readme file:

New to version 3.51BETA
-----------------------

* DAO *

Since so many recorders do not support the write mode we've been using for
DAO in previous versions, we added a second method of writing DAO that
seems to be widely supported. This new nethod is now the default, the
previous write mode is only used if the new write mode fails. If DAO does
not work (General Failure during copy, CD Writer Error Log reports Aborted
Command or similar), please try to upgrade the recorder's firmware. During
our tests, we had to do so for the Plextor PXW8220 (version 1.05 required)
and PX-W4220 (1.04 required).

As always, success reports are most welcome!

So far, we have successfully tested the following recorders:

Plextor PX-W8220   (firmware 1.05 req'd)
Plextor PX-W4220   (firmware 1.04 req'd)
Yamaha  CRW2100S   
Yamaha  CRW8824S
Yamaha  CRW4416S


* Installation program *

* The installer now performs a version comparison before overwriting
  an already existing DaniS506.ADD driver

* If the DANIATAPI.FLT driver is installed, the user can choose if he
  wants to install our RSJIDECD.FLT driver, since DANIATAPI provides
  a similar functionality for enabling write access to IDE recorders.

  However, *please* read the DANIATAPI documentation *before* skipping
  installation of RSJIDECD.FLT. It contains information about how it
  has to be called to provide the functionality that RSJ CD Writer
  needs.

* During an upgrade, the installer checks if the call to LOCKCDR.FLT
  has been removed from config.sys. If so, and if the DANIATAPI.FLT
  driver is installed, no new call to LOCKCDR.FLT will be added.

  Background:
  DANIATAPI.FLT also has the ability to emulate SCSI devices. Since
  our LOCKCDR.FLT driver does - among other things - the same, it is
  possible to not use LOCKCDR.FLT if DANIATAPI is properly installed.
  Again, please read the information in the DANIATAPI.DOC file to
  find out how.

  NOTE: 
  LOCKCDR.FLT performs dynamic recorder detection during boot time. If you
  do not use it, you have to manually edit the cddrv.inf file.


* CopyWizard *

* To avoid problems with various display drivers, CopyWizard now supports
  a "Simple GPI" option in its system menu (main window). If set, the
  percent numbers in the progress bars are drawn with a gray background.

* If a recorder is specified in the form CDR:HA.ID (HA=host adapter index,
  ID=drive SCSI id), this device string is now stored and presented in the
  drive combo box for later use.
