Re: CDR drive replacement.
The newer Yamaha CD-R drives are protected by an NDA. You can't get the developer information without signing one. The old CDR-100 information is available on their website. I used to own a CDR-100. I now have a CDR-400c. The 100 was more stable and better made, but the 400c has better features. (I use it under Windoze, though...)

Direct sound transfer (cdda2wav) works too. I'm less happy with the audio CD part. I had to hack the kernel so that I don't get target busy messages full my syslog. The various audio CD players work barely ok. So, if you don't care struggling moderately to have it play audio CDs, go for it.

Re: CDR drive replacement.
The HP CDR drive was designed and manufactured by Philips. It has slightly different firmware. I'd suggest the Yamaha. Bruce -- Can you get your operating system fixed when you need it?

I would consider other options if they fall in the catagory of cheap (cost effective) and dependable, while at the same time available quickly through mail order using a credit card. I have the HP SureStore 6020i drive. As its model number suggests, it is 6x read, 2x write. For writing, I use the cdrecord program. It works flawlessly, even writing multi-session CDs and it even works from a master on an IDE drive. cwrite also works with this drive, BUT... it won't do multisession, and it is much, much more system-intensive than cdrecord is. cdwrite barely works with an IDE drive at 1x record speed; cdrecord easily works with my IDE drive at 2x record speed. For reading, you need to do a tad bit more up-front. It will read normal CDs without any problem. However, you must patch the kernel to get the drive to read multi-session CDs. Once the kernel is so patched, however, it is able to read multi-session CDs without any difficulty at all. (Actually, this patch is included in 2.1.x and maybe even in 2.0.30 but I know it isn't in 2.0.29.) I have had good luck with this drive with all sorts of various media. I have not experienced any problems with data loss on any media, as sometimes occurs with CDR drives. I have used both the genuine HP media and the cheap Pioneer media without difficulty. -- John Goerzen | Running Debian GNU/Linux (www.debian.org) Custom Programming| Debian GNU/Linux is a free replacement for [EMAIL PROTECTED] | DOS/Windows -- check it out at www.debian.org. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: CDR drive replacement.
According to Bruce Perens: The HP CDR drive was designed and manufactured by Philips. It has slightly different firmware. I'd suggest the Yamaha. We always used the Yamaha 102 writer and worked fine for us. This week we purchased the CDR400T (6x4) from Yamaha. So far we have been unable to get xcdroast to work with it. reading is no problem, writing is (audio and digital). Will try cdwrite manually this weekend. -- Danny ter Haar | Cistron Internet Services | Unix Internet [EMAIL PROTECTED]| finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for PGP-key |specialists - Never confuse wisdom with luck - ferengi rule of aquisition #44 -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
