System: 3400c running 9.1 connected to an external SCSI case with a Cendyne 24X CDROM and Ricoh MP6200 CDRW inside. I'm using the Apple CDROM 5.3.1 extension from 7.6 to appease the non-Apple CDROM. The rest of the bits are all circa-OS 9.1, but the Apple CD/DVD extension is of course disabled.
Both drives read data just fine, and are the only devices in the SCSI chain; the case is terminated. Dragging an audio CD into Toast 5.01 gives an error with either drive. With the burner, it's an "I/O" error, when attempting with the CDROM it's a "Mac OS" error. Despite the Toast "I/O" error for the burner mentioned above I'm reluctant to pin this on SCSI voodoo, especially since data CDs read fine on both drives. Perhaps Toast's CD extension reports all problems as data streaming errors. However I wonder if I've got a conflict with the older CDROM extension and the newer version of the Audio CD Access extension, given the "Mac OS" error msg when using the CDROM, which reads using the older extension. I can see how the Apple bits might give better error messages. Using Toast's verification test for either drive (to test the ability to reliably read audio CDs) reports back that "this drive appears to be unable to read audio CDs". Now, audio CDs do play fine with AppleCD Audio Player (but with no sound of course) and opening the audio CD reveals the proper icon. However, CDs won't play with iTunes. The songs show in the window but you can see iTunes moving from song to song, like someone keeps pressing the "next key". I'm going to try: Replace the old CD extension with the later Apple piece and see if the burner can then be used to rip? If that works I suppose I can try FWB or SpeedTools to regain use of the CDROM. Anything else I should look at? -David -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
