HI!
I used to burn my cd's with my A1200 and blizzard 1230@50mhz. The amount of memory should'nt be such a big issue since MakeCD uses only a few Kb so the rest of the memory can be used as buffer (10mb is fine). Do you have an IDE controller?
I have a Powerflyer which let me burn at the max of the writer which was 4x. I even could burn 128kbps mp3s on the fly at 1x :-o
It's a bit dissapointing post if you don't have an IDE controller ;-) But on the other hand I can predict major problems on the A1200 controller although I think you can't reach more then 1x 8-)
TIP: When you use MAKECD (=a must) make sure you have enough Chipmem, set all priority's to high (in icon) and set the chunksize to 512. This should work :-)
bye,
