I put a DVD reader as a slave on the same CD drive bus as my SuperDrive (104) in my Beige. The purpose was to copy (legal) video disks directly rather than having to copy the contents to a drive first. Besides, the reader drive was a gift.
Copying DVDs was a problem in X using disk copy mode in Toast. I also tried using the write DVD mode and just copied the two directories from the original. Both methods gave errors and aborted Oddly enough, this latter method worked ok in os 9 Toast (though the copy mode did not.) A few errors were reported but the copied disk played fine. The full disk copied in 25 minutes at 2X. Nice. I'm wondering if it would be better to put the DVD reader on the motherboard ide disk drive bus where I have a space for a slave. Would the data flow be improved and maybe copying in X would work ok? Rich -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
