horrible system performance using ide-scsi for cdrom on tibook

2001-09-11 Thread rob pfile
I've posted on a similar topic before. the short story is that i could not make the dvd/cdrom drive in the tibook work for audio extraction unless i used the ide-scsi package. while that worked in the sense that cdparanoia could see the drive, system performance during cd ripping is terrible. the
