I have also read reviews which claim it is the noisiest cdrw on the planet.

If I was you I would go for the plextor. It has much better press ;)

According to my experiences, most techs (except Justlink series) for
preventing
buffer overrun making a frisbee describe themselves in mode page 0x21. If we
want to
enable this capability of a cdrw, we can just set it in the mode page 0x05.
Plextor, Teac,
Liteon are ok by this means.

But, some other brands have some strange problems. For example,
Yamaha 2100
and 2200 should support the above trick. But no matter how I try, they will
failed after
about writing 64 MB data by my program. The sense data didn't show any
reasonable
data. I observe the cdrw will send a couple times "Sense:0x02 ; ASC:0x04 ;
ASCQ:0x08"
(LOGICAL UNIT NOT READY, LONG WRITING IN PROGRESS), then it fail with a
sense like "invalid address for write" (something like that, but I am not
very sure).

Is there anything special for Yamaha 2100 and 2200? I can't get any
documents or
information for these cdrws. Is there anyone can give me some hints?

according top the yamaha web pages, the cdw2100s is support up to 16x write
speed. it does 16-write/10-rewrite/40-read

I was thinking of getting a yamaha crw 2100 - is this really a problem ?

   You can release software that's good, software that's inexpensive, or
   software that's available on time.  You can usually release software
   that has 2 of these 3 attributes -- but not all 3.

Freecom Traveller II CD RW PCMCIA Driver

2001-09-09 Thread Peter A. J. Pilgrim 


Has anyone ever connected 

Freecom Traveller II CD RW CMCIA drive (www.freecom.com)

to a Linux box successfully?

I have a Dell Inspiron 7500 Laptop 700 MHz Pentium III 128MB.
My CD RW drive works under Windows 98 SE, however I cannot 
get the drive to work under SuSE Linux 7.1.

I installed `append="hde=ide-scsi"' under lilo.conf
I recompiled the kernel with PCMCIA SCSI make modules of tape,
cdrom, disk configuration settings.

I had a look at the http://seismo.ethz.ch/linux/xcdroast.html
and tried all the ideas in this document.

I search on google.com "freecom cd rw linux" came up with
nothing special, except that CD Writer is mushitushi driver
and what ever that means, and it needs to be booted from DOS
to work.

Any one know and anything special?

Here is my dmesg output:

Is anyone using a Teac CDW516EB?

2001-09-09 Thread Denis Pelletier 

Hello,

I'm about to buy a new CD-RW. My first idea was to buy a Plextor but
considering the price, a Teac CDW516EB (16x10x32x ATAPI) seems a better
buy. Is anyone using this model?

A small question for Jörg. From what I read in the source of the cdrtools
you don't know if cdrecord can use the Burn Proof mode of Teac drives.
Anything new about that since the latest release of cdrecord?

Thanks.

Denis
