Blanking a CD blocks the scsi bus, so if you are using hdc and hdd
they are both in the same IDE controller (same interrupt). If you
want to be able to do so you should put the recorder in hdc or hdd
and the reader in hdb (I supose your hard disk is hda). Because
you have two IDE controllers (two interrupts) there will be no blocking.
This configuration is better to avoid buffer underruns. The only problem
is when doing HD to CD Writer, if you open/close the CD (sitting in hdb)
then you are temporaly blocking the access to the HD, so use a bigger
buffer when doing so.
Hope this is all correct :).
