#8038-Rock Ridge?
Message #8043
John, Good to hear from you again! Yes, we can do RockRidge now. I'll refer your question to someone who knows more than I do about it, however. Someone will get back to you shortly. Is this for another of your 3D-ROM discs? Kathy The One-Off CD Shop, Inc.

#1150-CDROM Example
Message #1170
There isn't any. If you look at a greatly magnified (via electron microscope) photo of a CD-ROM, you'll see that the pits merge to make long grooves when they have the same value. I've still never figured out if the pits are 1's or 0's, though. That's *really* low level…

#1104-CDROM Example
Message #1106
John, You understand the process very well. The image is written, then the software adds "lead-out" information that tells the player where the data starts and stops on the disc. It seems redundant, but the TAR utility and the premastering program are similar in that each makes one large file…

John, I'd still like to hear the details. I know _nothing_ of the requirements! What tape "formats" can be used, etc., You might try an enumerated outline summary format of the requirements, trials and tribulations, and results if that would reduce your typing load. Q

#957-Music CD-R Tech. Anyone?
Message #975
Jim, When you say "master Redbook audio from a DAT" do you really mean a "Master" or are you referring to a one-off (CD-R)? If the latter, then yes there are several packages which will make an audio CD-R and most of those work with DAT tape. If you really…

#967-Double-speed CD-ROM Driv
Message #968
Beep! That answer is incorrect, do not pass go, do not collect $200. Double speed drives are indeed faster than their single speed counterparts (at least SCSI ones are). You might have to be using a higher end adapter to see a big difference, but its definitely there. David

#Double-speed CD-ROM Driv
Message #967
While shopping for a mail-order PC, Gateway told me that double-speed CD-ROM drives (NEC Multispin 84i, etc) are not presently any faster/better than standard units as current software/hardware cannot utilize higher speed transfer rates. Is this true? Were I to specify a NEC Multispin84i in a ZEOS 4DX2-66, is there…
