Will i have any problems to have in a Falcon an IDE CD-ROM and a SCSI
CD-RW, or opposite a SCSI CD-ROM and IDE CD-RW?
Does this combination work good?

Thanks!

If the drives are supported there will be no problems. I think that
there was only one driver (by Andoyne or similar) that supports
rewritable CDRoms.

In general it does not matter wether the CD-ROM is attached to SCSI or
IDE. I am not sure wether IDE CD-Writers are supported (in their writing
part...). You should have a look at your Writing-Software manuals for
this.

I suppose there are no problems with any combinations if each part works
properly.

Regards,

Alexander

Your best bet is to check with the programs authour (Ie. Anodyne software)
about the specific drive (specific model number would be best) to be sure it
works with the software before you buy the drive & software so you can be
sure if they'll work together, otherwise you'll get a major headaches trying
to sort it out if it doesnt work.

ATAPI CD writers, which are connected to the IDE port, are supported by
Anodyne's software.

I have read that to copy a cd the stream have to be constant or
something like this, i also have read that is not good for copying CDs
to have the CD-ROM and the CD-W/RW in the same IDE chain. So what i
want to know is about to have one SCSI CD-ROM and an IDE CD-W/RW or
opposite knowing that both work good with the software i have, if
there is any problems like the ones i mentioned above.

Thanks for your answers.

IBM internal 2.5" 10 GB + external SCSI RICOH 6200 + PHILIPS CDD 2600
and all works fine together with Extendos Gold and CD-Writer suite.

Hi, "D"!

So you want to copy CDs on the fly and don't want buffer underruns?

Best way to archieve this is to keep both CD-Devices in the SCSI-Chain, as
IDE-Devices put more stress to the processor. I guess it is better to have
the source device as IDE if you can't have two SCSI devices.

-> DATA CDs:
no problem, if recording speed stays below reading speed of CDR
-> check max reasonable recording speed for your HW-Setup with "test"
writes (with CD-writer laser switched off)

-> Audio CDs:
here you need a good CDDA-extractor (or a good correction mechanism in
your source device). Extract without breaks (->keep whole track in
RAM, then put it to HD), otherwise "tck" and similar noise sounds
might get into your track at those moments.

I have no experience with on the fly CD copies on my Falcon - I use to
buffer the data on my HD.

Regards,

Alexander
