If you have one of the first SB Live's without the newer firmware applied,
then it will be affected by SCMS. Otherwise, with the newer firmware, it
will ignore the SCMS bits (after many a nagging by all SB Live users out
there <grin>).
In response to your second question, as I said, only first-generation
copies. You will not be able to record from a homemade MD/DAT recording to
another MD/DAT digitally for a 2nd generation copy as the SCMS bits are set
at the time of recording that no further copies are to be made of that
MD/DAT digitally.

Also what happens if I do something such as acquire sound onto a MiniDisc,
then copy the sound to the hard disk using the SBLive's SPDIF connection so
I can polish up the sound using Windows Sound Recorder or a similar utility
before making a production master on MiniDisc, or use it in a multimedia
project? Does the software allow a sound file to be created from any SPDIF
source deened SCMS-final, such as a digital copy of a CD or MiniDisc made on
domestic hardware or one of those V2 CDs?
Also, the above situation that you describe of the MD or DAT that is made of
the soundcard's output, you can't make digital copies of that MD/DAT or can
you make a SCMS-final copy of that sound-card recording which is on that MD
or DAT.
