Hey John,


It turned out the reason why it wasn't burning at a decent speed was DMA related. I turned DMA on as per the other posts and it worked.
Knowing how people warn on the reliability of CD-ROMS when coupled with DMA, I am not convinced it's the best idea (will corruption follow?), but the performance of the system definitely went tremendously up.
So I guess I'll figure it out soon.
Thanks!

As a matter of interest, when it goes wrong using DMA, what
is the result, I mean , is it just data loss or something, or is there permanent
hardware breakage.
John
