MD: MDH-10
I just got a Sony MDH-10 data drive (thru eBay, $150). I'm having some problems with it on my Win'98 VAIO laptop, using the Win'95 drivers v1.25 from the Sony web site. Has anyone else had any trouble with using these drivers on Win'98? Specifically, if the drivers are present when I boot, Windows fails with "initalizing device SHELL: unable to load KRNL386.EXE" and then eventually says "It's now safe to turn off your computer." (How nice.) I can boot in command mode, rename the offending VXDs, and then reboot successfully. Then after Windows is up and running, I put the VXDs back in place and then I can use the drive. Rather annoying. Since these drivers aren't any use unless the drive is connected, is there any way to force Windows to postpone loading them until I've plugged in the drive? (I figure the SCSI drivers must already work this way, since I'm using a PCMCIA SCSI adapter...) -- Howard Chu Chief Architect, Symas Corp.

MD: MDH-10
With all the talk about USB to MD, I've been wondering what would keep someone from buying a used MDH-10 and putting a USB SCSI interface on it? Would that enable audio transfer from audio disc to computer, or just from data disc to computer? Does anybody have an MDH-10 who can input on what the audio transfer capabilities are?

Re: MD: MDH-10
While I don't have a usb on any of my computers (no need to upgrade yet) I do have an mdh-10 and the only audio capabilities on it are playback through a headphone jack. not even optical out (which would have been a GREAT improvement) that along with the fact that they are terribly slow for data transfer, I don't see usb really being ad advantage. -Jeffrey -- The day MS makes something that doesn't suck will be the day they start making vacuum cleaners.

Standard out of the box, it's impossible to use the mdh-10 to title MD's from a Wintel machine. There is (was?) a company based in the UK that sells an updated Firmware for the drive with software that allows writing to and reading of Audio discs. AFAIK, it contains a titler to.

I've heard that it is not possible to title audio MDs from a Windows PC, but you can from a Mac. Is this out dated information? Has anybody come up with a newer solution for this? More importantly: Is there anyplace I can find drive and driver information so I can just sit down and bash out the code to take care of the problem? My main goal is to actually do titling from a unix box. Is any body out there currently doing this, or working on something similar? thanks for any leads. - -Jeffrey -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: PGP Personal Edition 5.0 Charset: noconv iQEVAwUBN7BkvJPQ+I/hmNdhAQHy0Qf/XWh6QCP7woRLKVDBRliYGXndJwjuaCfY SbhnD+1Kb2HE5seyZfvOyECb/IlVouz01ROlOoPCmV9sZJiKddlDLzqOiEX5USEY cTOKw1VvcUFKuxH+uCtSkMNTmYkSSDEKrto5jkOsPEUGLo1mugaxoHOesPPdjWNF ZVOR5CgoGgga8sErD4AZ0vcDz0zqWj2dJ+UE7BnH/0/L/3jYzro9M8A4GgyY64XS 9UyULf02qZTbR8mIjzduvAxqlo+2z4kHb7KOqIHRUB26iHaUjhDXfRXsQ0OfWoiD 6qeqCUrHGZ6koX6K6N8xXBnyocCQK/ZkjXiaA54BuLALxGmncC+jPg== =wGCy -END PGP SIGNATURE- - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

A look at http://www.cs.uit.no/linux-irda/ might help - it's a general project for IrDA on Linux, but source is available and I'm pretty sure there are other sites listing the IR codes for MD functions (sorry, haven't got any URLs for those) Simon - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
