Minimum requirements for CD recording on an A2500?

[DoomMaster]

What are the minimum requirements for CD recording on an Amiga 2500?  I have the Revision 6.3 motherboard, a 68030 board, 9 megs of memory, an A2091 SCSI card, a Seagate 7200 RPM hard disk and a Plexter CD-RW drive.  Do I need anything else and what software do I use?  Please, no bs or ego trips.  Thanks.     :-D

I do not care about burning music to CDs.  I can do that on my Pentium 4 machine.  All I want to do is burn SOFTWARE (games, productivty, MODs, pictures, etc) onto Amiga formatted CDs, so that I do not have to change the names of the files.  I want to be able to run Amiga programs from the CD or copy the folders containing those programs to my Amiga hard disk.     :roll:

To KennyR:

But I'll tell you this right now: you're going to struggle to be able to burn with an 030 and 9MB of ram.

Why is that?  All I want to do is format Amiga CDs and copy files to the CDs.  What I already have should be MORE then enough to do this.     :-o

To amiga1260:

Thanks for your reply.  Recording a CD-R at 4 speed will be just fine.  I burn at that speed on my Pentium 4 computer anyway, even though my CD-RW drive can burn at 36 speed.  I found out that low speed (4X to 8X) single-session burned CD-Rs are the most reliable.  Reliability is more important to me then speed.  I am in no hurry, so recording software onto CD-Rs at 4 speed will be just fine, just as long as the content on the CD will last for at least 100 years on CD-R Pro Archival Quality CDs.     :-D

I also have an 040 board, but I actually prefer the Commodore 030 card.  On the 040 board I can install up to 32 megs of 32-bit memory.  Do you think the 040 board will make a difference?  If it does, then I will try it.     :-P

To KennyR:

An 030 just isn't up to this. I can do it on 040/25 - which is twice the speed of an 030/50 - but I need 64MB of cache. And that's with burnproof (JustLink and JustSpeed). Any less ram, or if I try to do something else in the background, and it's coaster time.

Will 32 megs of ram and an 040 board be good enough?     :-?

To fx:

Still can't get it why you would possibly want a 030 in your machine instead of a 040?

Because the Commodore A2630 is a higher quality board then my 68040 board.  Also, the 68030 does not suffer from overheating problems like the 68040 does, so the 68030 is a more reliable processor then the 68040.  With me, quality and reliability always comes first, then performance.  I will not sacrifice quality and reliability for performance.  This is the reason why I have and use the Amiga 2000 Series computers and I do NOT use the Amiga 500, 500+, 600 or 1200.     :-D
