Hi alberonn,

Just use a PC to burn your "Amiga" CD-Rs   :-D

Hey, BoingBoss, that was really low.


Why do you say that?   :-o

A PC does a much better job at burning "Amiga" CD-Rs then the Amiga does.  So that's why I suggested that he use a PC instead of an Amiga to burn CDs.  This is what I do and it works great.   :-)

Unlike Mr helpful above GadgetMaster


Yes, I was being very helpful.  Unlike you, I told him to use a PC instead of an Amiga for burning "Amiga" CD-Rs.  It works better that way.   :-D

Hi KennyR,

Waste of time. Windows doesn't even support Amiga protection bits properly, and is poor at ISO 9660 Level 2.


You are wrong about that.  I have never had any problems creating a true "Amiga" CD on my PC computer, you just have to know what you are doing.   :-D

Anyway, MakeCD is actually better than Nero at burning CDs.


I have always told people that Nero sucks and that they should be using the Adaptec software instead.  Try using the Adaptec software under Windows 98 Second Edition and you will see for yourself that it blows the doors off the Amiga's MakeCD software.   :roll:

Hi KennyR,

You have NO IDEA of what you are doing!!!


I sell Amiga CDs that I create on eBay.  I have never had one returned and my customers are very happy with them.  In fact, I have even had repeat customers who have bought more then one of my Amiga CDs.  So, actually, I do have an idea of what I am doing.  The Amiga CDs that I create and sell are the following:

Wings
SideWinder
F/A-18 Interceptor
King's Quest VI
Nucleus
Amiga Programs DMS & ADF Volume One

I also create Amiga CD32 CDs from my Master ISO files.

I will be selling more Amiga CDs soon.  I usually sell them around Christmas time.  They are really nice.  They have printed jewel case inserts and are shrink-wrapped to help protect them in shipping.  I also create CDs for the Atari ST computers.    :-D

The guy wanted MakeCD plain and simple, if you can help him get it then great.


Yes, I can sell him a copy.  But I was trying to stir him away from it for his own good.   :-D

Many people are selling "Amiga CDs" on eBay.  Afterall, it is now considered to be "Abandoned-Ware" and nobody really cares about the "piracy issue".  The Amiga is now dead and that's that.  Do not get me wrong, I love the Amiga computer, but I am wise enough to know that it is a "dead" computer.  The PC won the computer war and is now the king.  As Duke Nukem would say "Hail to the king, baby".   :-D

Hi B00tDisk,

Win98 SE.


Windows 98 Second Edition is THE best Windows for Home Use.

Windows 2000 and NT are THE best for business.

Windows XP Home and Professional Editions just plain SUCK!

My best friend uses Windows XP and he has had nothing but problems with it.  I on the other hand, continued to use Windows 98 Second Edition and I have NEVER had any problems.  My friend also uses the Nero software and now agrees with me that the Adaptec software is better.   :-)

Wow. Your Friend. What a computing authority! Stop the presses, fire John Dvorak, we've got a real authority here! Your Friend!


Actually, my best friend is a "computing authority".  He has been working with computers for almost as long as I have.

Do you want to know what "sucks"? Unsupported OS's. And 98SE is slated to be unsupported, if it isn't already.


Just because an OS is no longer supported does not mean that it is not a good OS.  Windows 98 Second Edition runs just fine on my Pentium 4 PC, so why should I use Windows XP?  I have both versions of Windows XP and have installed both.  I took each version back off my computer after using it for only one week and went back to Windows 98 Second Edition each time.

So bye-bye, DOS-based, lousy-file-system enabled OS.


Most of the best games for the PC computer are DOS based games.  Most of todays modern games that run on Windows XP suck!

As to your opinions on XP, since you equally straddle being a troll and a fool,


Are you attacking me personally?  Because if you are, try saying that crap to my face, punk!!!! :pissed:
