Hey all, I just got (for free yippee!) a Yamaha 20X CD burner (20x10x40).Itried to use it in my 9500 which has been upgraded with a G4/350 processor and has a Sonnet ATA-66 card. I am running Jaguar 10.2.8 and I've tried both the finder and Toast and both keep giving me buffer under-run errors. What the heck am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance!
Does your drive have under-run protection? Does the software use that feature? Most problems with burners is caused by the HD controller not using DMA transfer during recording. On a x86 PC this is easy to configure, not sure how to do it on a Sonnet card in a Mac (I have 2 such cards but my burner is an old 6x scsi teac external).
I have the burner program (toast 5) on a separate partition - that is only used for soundmastering - and when I burn I let the machine do no other task during the process. I have buffer under run function checked. I do always save the file to be burnt as a disk imgae in toast before I burning it. and I restart toast after saving the diskimage, to get a new meny window in toast.
I have never (minus 1) made a coaster, if I try to burn while surfin with my other partion as startupdisk, There will be errors,
also if I don't save as diskimage first, if I save as diskimage at the same time as other task - the discimage can get corrupted and produce coaster. I am not able to get the burner to burn faster or slower than 8 xx - but thats okey - I can waite - ;))
so my advice is keep a clean separate system for burning - and do nothing meanwhile.
System 9.1 Toast 5.xxx PM 7600 LG - burner
Lovek
