Make CD and CD writers
« on: May 05, 2008, 06:35:59 PM »
 Not sure if the problem is with the make CD program (now free to all Amiga users I notice) or with the CD Writer, but I cannot get my external Yamaha CRW8824S to write CDs with Make CD.
 Every time I try, regardless of the speed I set in Make CD, the buffer runs out well before the CD is made and an error message appears.
 I know from the Make CD website that this writer is not on their list of supported writers and I am wondering if the program simply will not work with it.
 I am using a desktop Amiga 1200 with 3.1 ROMs, large HD and Blizzard accelerator and the CD writer is attached by Squirrel interface through the PCMCIA port.
 Can anyone help please?
 Regards,
         Mike.

 Thanks, but none of the above work. I am already using TAO, I have increased the buffer to 26,000 and reduced the speed to 1 but the buffer still runs out well before any CD has been written.
 Any other suggestions please?
 Regards,
        Mike.

 Sorry, still no joy. Please bear in mind my Yamaha CD writer is an external SCSI device connected through a Squirrel cable to the PCMCIA port on my desktop Amiga 1200.  
 I have an internal Lite-On CD writer in my towered A1200 set up which works just fine, but that is no consolation when I am trying to back up my Desktop A1200 HD.
