Which CD file system is the best?

[doctorq]

Hi,

I always used AmiCDFS as my CD file system. It does its job, for me at least, and the Commodore CD Filesystem ain't better...

The only annoying thing is that some CD's are only displayed with the 8 characters.3 characters, even though other filesystems displays the whole file name of the same CD. I basicly get this with AmiCDFS #######~.### but the whole name on others.

When I copy a CD my source CD (which runs on a quicker drive) fills the buffer of MakeCD, but after half a minute the CD writer have burned what's in the buffer, and because it's burnprof it's always waiting for the source drive. (Info: Source = Memorex 52x, dest = 32 CDRW).

I was wondering what file system others find the best, and mayby going to change mine.

MakeCD doesn't use any cd fileystem.

It works from its own custom drivers.

If you wish to make a clone of your Amiga data, chose ISO amiga from MakeCD and then install CacheCDFS with its own prefrence program.

It's the best AFAIK.
There is also a commercial CD-file system out there, but I don't know if it's still being sold. Never tried it...

The only file system I've been able to get working with my A3000 is AsimCDFS. Since the only way I know to get 3,9 installed is by using my 3.1 disks, then upgrading from that to 3.9 usim AsimCDFS to read the CD.

If any of you out there are using the Casweasel IDE with an IDE hard drive and CDROM. Give me a hand too if you got CacheCDFS working.

AllegroCDFS supplied with the PowerFlyer Gold by Elbox is reckoned to be the 'fastest CD file system on the Amiga' and 'the first Amiga file system to support UDF (the Video DVD format)'.

I haven't compared it with any of the freeware systems tho.

I just use CacheCDFS that comes with AmigaOS 3.9.  It works fine.

I use AllegroCDFS from the Power Flyer Gold package. It is very good and consistant and is quite fast. Although i personally thought that IDE Fix'97 was a little faster! It has never let me down though.

There isn't really a best CDFS. They all have strong points and weaknesses, but some you should avoid anyway.

Best ones: AllegroCDFS, AsimCDFS.

Good ones: CacheCDFS, AmiCDFS.

Okayish ones: cdrive.filesystem (on BPPC cards).

Ones you shouldn't use: CD-Filesystem (OS3.1 version).

I don't know why you have 8+3 problems with AmiCDFS - it always worked ok on ISO-Amiga for me.

Allegro is my favourite and I use this, but it only works on Elbox hardware like 4-way IDE adapters. I've never used Asim but I hear good things about it. Cache is good and comes with OS3.9, but it's kinda slow and has some prefs bugs.

allegro and cache here , i really never checked them thourougly to see what was the best , both do what i want and both is always mounted (as cd0 and cd1: respectively)  but 1 thing is for sure , some cds (nightlong) required me to use allegrocdfs to get the cd name listed properly and i needed no assings for it etc.

(as a note , nightlong was fixed on this issue later on , and i use the new versions now so that bug aint troubling me anymore.)

cheers
