>>Yeah Pinnacle hasn't come through for me when I needed them to but it is partly my fault for not having enough time to focus on the one problem and get it resolved. I just can't believe how complicated life is becoming. That strikes a chord with me. I've been…
Charles, I will be ordering one a 1002 soon, I will also need an A/V drive any suggestions? I don't think more tham 1 gig will be required.
Kathy… I missed SIGGCAT this year – just toooo busy (I actually had to fly out of town on an emergency trip). It was the one convention/trade show I really wanted to attend this year. Oh well. Thanks for the follow-up info on the heat problem. I'm going to look…
Ken… Yeah Pinnacle hasn't come through for me when I needed them to but it is partly my fault for not having enough time to focus on the one problem and get it resolved. I just can't believe how complicated life is becoming. ..Carl
Jerry… A week? I've worked here 11 years and I haven't even seen everything in this one museum. :^) It really is a great place, a gem in our nations capitol. ..Carl
Carl, they only customer support system I've seen that sends out automatic updates is Twelve Tone — Cakewalk Professional–I'm impressed with their support. My dealings with Pinnacle so far have been like pulling teeth. KAC
#ELEKTROSON AT IMC
Message #117276
Hello, Elektroson, the maker of the GEAR product family, will be present at the IMC show in Amsterdam (June 13 – 15). We would like to envite you all to visit us. I will be there personaly to answer any questions and to demonstrate our products. We will be at…
Thanks for the vindication, Jackson. 😉
Don- That's the configuration I'm using (CD Creator)…so far so good! Took a few days to setup, but I've not had a bad disc yet… Charles

Message #117227
ALL I am considering purchasing a Smart and Freindly CDR-1002? (Sony 920s), along with bundled Corel Cd-Creator. I would use this to create document (text) retrieval CD (no multimedia) Anyone have experience with this product? Advice appreciated DON
We carry the CAI printer and it is about 3K. Jackson Thompson Optical Media International
Yes OMI will also have a 32bit version out by August. Our 16 bit version is working under '95 but the 32 bit version is Multi-Threaded. Our Vendor forum is under construction at this time.
Carl, I'm not in DC now — I was in Reston for a conference a couple of weeks ago (SIGCAT 95). However, you may be referring to a message from Mark Czajka of The One-Off CD Shop Washington. He's located in White Plains, MD. If you'd like to visit their…
Carl, PMFJI Sure sounds like most of _us_ would rather visit _you_. My wife could spend a week in the Smithsonian! Jerry Warner CD Solutions, Inc.
Robert, The audio market has one-offs in that price range but so far CD-ROM prices are higher than that. Thank God! Jerry Warner CD Solutions, Inc.
I'd just like to clarify for the sake of those who don't know me that I live in Italy, work in cyberspace, and sometimes commute to California, but Incat also has an office in California that can be reached at (800) 77-INCAT. Best, Deirdre' Straughan Incat Systems
What a bunch of copy (In)cats! (just kidding, just kidding…) D'
Hi Michael, Oh well. We wanted it to be a surprise but since everybody else is saying it I might as well let the cat out of the bag. Elektroson is currently developing a series of new GEAR versions. You can expect versions for NT and 95 (both 32bit versions)…
Jerry, Thanks for the info. I had no idea that a one-off would only cost about $25.
Michael Like the guys at Incat Systems we will bring out this summer a version of our CD writer software supporting Windows 95 and NT. A demo of the current version (WinOnCD ToGo!) is in our library in the CDVENB forum (GO CEQUADRAT). Best regards, Monika Lutkemeier CeQuadrat
I too have been up and running even multisession with the Pinnacle and the easypro software. I have to tell you its fast and now after two or three ruined disc, I have not had any problems. I use tdk or sony media. Best of all as a backup (expensive_…
#Beware of Pinnacle Micro
Message #117193
I have just spent one month testing an RCD-1000 and over the course of many test disks, I never had one single problem (other than those caused by my learning curve with mastering). For the price, I'd have to say that the Pinnacle is a really good value. I'm running…
Paul… Please see my e-mail reply. Thanks. ..Carl
Kathy… Yeah, when I got to the office where all my reference material is I relearned how to spell it. Ptttt :^) Do you know if there is a way of determining whether or not I hav the vent problem? There are no vent on the top of the case…
I'm surprised you haven't heard from at least some of them already — they're here online. Check out the CDVENB forum for incatsystems (Deirdre) and elektroson (Paul). I don't think OMI is there, but Steve or someone else is usually hanging around here. There are other mfgrs represented here, too,…
Gavin, You could try a tower configuration that you can populate with your own choice of players. I think Microtech makes one like that. The One-Off CD Shops are dealers for them, I think. Call 1-800-340-1633 for info/prices. Another source for towers/jukeboxes is Todd Enterprises at 1-800-445-TODD. Everything I've read/heard…
Don't know if it's the same model, but early Pinnacles are said to have a design flaw that causes overheating — the laser housing isn't vented, or is inadequately vented. BTW, the "other" dye is spelled pthalocyanine. Kathy The One-Off CD Shops
Dear Michael, Incat will have an NT version of Easy-CD Pro by the end of summer (in time for the official release date of Windows 95). If you want to see what the current version looks like, there's a downloadable demo in our forum (GO INCATS). Best, Deirdre' Straughan Incat…
Kathy, Can you give me the address, phone and email of Deirdre and/or Steve and/or Paul? I really would appreciate it. Michael
You can either purchase the special coated CD-Rs for writing, or try an art supply house for a can of spray sealer. It makes a nice, writeable, impervious coating.
Kevin, Pretty much any AV quality drive will work with the recorder. It's not as much of an issue as it used to be as there are more AV drives and they're cheaper than before too. Or….Your friend could have us make his CD-Rs's for him. Jerry Warner CD Solutions,…
Robert, Sorry. It's not so simple. It can be done but requires a high end sound card in the computer and software to edit/break the files. The signal stays digital when done correctly but I'm afraid it's not simple and it's not easy and it's not cheap. It'll cost you…
#Best HDD for CDR
Message #117162
I have a customer who is getting into CDR and needs to know which SCSI hard drives DON'T work with a Yamaha CDR100. I have heard that if the drive 'hiccups' during recording the disc is ruined. Anyone have a preference on size/brand etc? Thanks, Kevin C
Thanks Kathy, I will bear that in mind. As you can appreciate it can be quite frustrating as we are in many cases stuck with the CD's which arrived with the various makes of PC we use, and without a costly rekitting exercise we are restricted where we can read…
Carl, if you are not having any luck getting through to Pinnacle BBS to download the firmware upgrade, I can snail mail it to you. I have just downloaded RCD-PC v. 2.12 E and have the latest firmware, v. 1.32 for the RCD 1000. What is the brand name of…
#ADAT to WAV
Message #117146
I have a new RCD-1000 and the bundled Easy CD software, which will mainly be used for ISO9660 CDROM's. I also need to record some CD Audio discs. We have the music recorded on an ADAT machine. I'm sure one could capture the output of the ADAT through the "line…
#CD-Recordable Purchase
Message #117141
John… One thing to ad to your very informative message…I have an RCD1000, one of the first available in the U.S., and have had problems writing to t…cyanine (sic) CD-ROMs – about a 50% failure rate – while haveing no failures with the cyanine dye CD blanks. Finally the problem…
>> If you are the handy man type- there is one brand of standard off the shelf color inkjet printer you can buy.
>>We'll see, I really am curious how they are going to handle the long file names. Win95's Joliet will support Unicode, the ISO 10446 spec for a 16-bit character set. CDFS, Win 95's replacement for MSCDEX, will act as a "receiver" for Joliet. CDFS is not ISO 9660-strict, allowing for…
Michael, You might be better off talking direct to the sw manufacturers, like Deirdre or Steve or Paul — they can tell you exactly what they've got. So far, I've been told no one has an NT version yet, but everybody's working on them (of course.) It is a bit…
Gavin, If, as you say, you need to archive critical information, you need a reliable solution. The problem doesn't seem to be with the recorder, however, if some players will read the discs. It has been established that many players do not adequately handle CD-Rs — and it's not the…
Kathy, The last time I priced the Rimage printer (about two weeks ago) the price was $5500 and they were selling them as fast as they could make them. As you say however, "you can call a dealer to find real prices." Jerry Warner CD Solutions, Inc.
Brian,
If you are the handy man type- there is one brand of standard off the shelf color inkjet printer you can buy. It has a straight paper path. You take it apart and separate the paper transfer mechanism from the print head by about 1/4 inch. Then build a carrier…
George, I am looking desperatly for a couple of month of a HW/SW combination to produce CD's under NT. I have to build an archieve system so I need something like an SDK. Please let me know of your experience with CDR under NT. What limitations you experience and what…
#JVC Archiver problems
Message #117084
We have used a JVC Archiver ( old single speed ) for about a year now and during this time we have experienced various problems reading the CD's produced -> some very common drives will not read *some* CD 's produced. It seems to be predominantly large ( > 400…
Microsoft has created an extension to ISO 9660 called Joliet to handle long filenames (how gracefully I don't know). Software makers like us just have to support Joliet to get them onto our discs. Ciao, D'
Well, the Rimage printer gives a nice-looking, almost silkscreen effect with wax transfer technology, and I don't think it costs as much as $5K — probably closer to $3K, but still more than paper. If you don't mind using the "printable" media with the matte finish, CAI's bubblejet can print…
You're welcome. Be looking forward to hearing your results. Kathy
