OK, this was a try to make a backup of my HD. The CD-recorder is on th PeeCee side, so I run MakeCD with WinUAE.
The procedure:
I already have an old backup CD, that I want to add the newer files to it, BUT MakeCD won't write the contents of an already existing drawer over an older one. So I have to copy the contents of the CD in a new hardfile, and add the newer ones over, and then burn the volume to a new CD.
The problems:
During the copy procedure, the file copy was frozen many times (after 50-100 files copied), while the WB was active (that is not crashed). I tried to change the max-transfer rate of the CD (using the FAQ for installing WB3.9 to WinUAE), changing various UAE configs (trying to achieve best compatibility), and finally starting with 3.1 and 3.9 (with and without "SKIPRROMMODULES scsi.device"), but the file copy was freezing the same after some files being copied.
After many hours of copying & reseting the emulator, I finaly finished the CD transfer to the hardfile, thinking that the CD bug thingie will stop bothering me, and I tried to extract the .lha of my newer files (I've made an lha to preserve the file attributes that are lost if copied via samba to a PC volume) over that volume/hardfile. Guess what: the lha stopped/freezed while extracting the archive!!!! That's were I thought that it had something to do with the hardfile...
Is there any known issue with the emulator, or something that I've overlooked?
