SCSI CD-rw and cd-rom recommendation

Post by DC » Fri, 12 Jan 2001 13:14:53



I need to purchase a new scsi cd-rw and cd-rom.  8x/4x writes are fine
and read on the burner isn't that important.  I need a burner that can
do bit by bit copies.  Also i need a cd-rom that can read bit by bit or
is good at copying copy protected cds.  My price range on the burner is
about 150-175 on ebay or street price.  The range on the reader is less
than 50.  Thanks for your help.

I use a Ricoh MP70605 CDRW (6x4x24) with linux, given me zero problems of any
kind, burned every type of disk I have tried with cdrecord.

For readers I use panasonic which again have given me no problems at all. The
only SCSI cdrom problems I have ever had was with a Sony that would not allow
me to use it for the source of disk to disk, and that was under windoze.

Not in the US so cannot comment on the prices.

You can get a Sony CRX140E (or newer model) with no Windoze software
for roughly that price (the dirve is IDE though, not SCSI). I use one
with Linux Mandrake through the IDE-SCSI emulation.

Pretty much all cd-burners do the same thing.  Breaking copy protection is
in the method and the software used to accomplish it.  I'm used a dozen or
so, all different speeds and bransd, and they all do the same job...  HP's
suck though.  (my opinion)

Pretty much all burners are the same EXCEPT for overburn.  Some copy
protection comes from using 80 min (730? MB) CDs.  If you want to copy these
CDs you will need a burner that supports overburn.

1. SCSI problem w/ CD-ROM & CD-RW

I have the following problem:
I have an AHA-1520A scsi adapter (scsi id 7) and 3 devices:
A is a 2x Chinon CD-ROM (scsi id 1)
B is a 16x TEAC CD-ROM (scsi id 2)
W is a Yamaha 4416 CD-RW (scsi id 4)
I use Mandrake 7.0 distro

I cannot get Linux to detect W if either A or B are connected but W is
detected if it is the only device on the SCSI bus. A & B are both detected
with or without W. W is not listed during the boot process when linux checks
the devices attached to the scsi adapter and 'cdrecord -scanbus' does not
find anything more.
I used the line 'aha152x=0x140,10,7,1'
I tried all sorts of combination, like putting the adapter in the middle of
the scsi bus with B & W at both ends. Terminators and other jumpers have
been checked thoroughly and then changed in all thinkable combinations.
Strangely all these worked under Window$ 95
I could upgrade to a AHA-2904CD scsi adapter but how do I know if it will
solve this problem?

All help greatly appreciated,
Xavier.
