I just landed a nice CD ROM Writer for my A2000. Thumbing through my software, I don't have programs to use it. Is frying Pan still around, or ??
How 'bout some help jogging some old memory (mine)....


MakeCD is lighter and has more options for tuning: http://www.estamos.de/makecd/
Download from that page at least main archive (http://www.estamos.de/makecd/ftp/MakeCD32c-internet.lha), the latest exe (http://www.estamos.de/makecd/ftp/MakeCD32d_public_beta_12.lha) and take the free registration info too.

Frying Pan is simplier to use, but heavier. Hmm.. seems that official FP page isn't up now (was in summer though). I think you need main archive which was there, but then you get version which doesn't need registration from there http://www.tsteffen-online.de/files/FryingPan.lha

MakeCD made me want to beat my head against a wall with its indecipherable user interface, but I have used it successfully in the past to burn CD's on my Amiga that could be read-back by my PC.


Well, it looks pretty messy at first, at least if you're not familiar how cd burning works generally, but when you learn it, it is actually quite simple to use afterall :)

Make sure you have plenty of memory for cache/buffer space, and burn slow.


Unless if you have SCSI, then you don't have to worry about anything. Just burn full speed and do other things with your computer :) Never got any buffer underruns with SCSI setup... and I was surfing the web and listening mp3 at the same time. PC owning friend was horrified that I did those things while burning :P
