Firstly thanks for replying to my plea for help about the CDD 521 DTR issue. I
had only just got the system and was trying to read files from a CD and found
that the transfer rate was about 80KB/S! Since then I have been able to record
the 380 MB of data on to a CD in under 30 minutes so I am satisfied that the
write DTR is very much as specified (about 300 KB/S).However the read DTR is
only still only about 80KB/S. I have tried adjusting the syncronous transfer
rate as you were suggesting, at settings above 5.7MB/S my system hangs. I have
also tried adjusting the bus off and bus on times with no success.
I am beginning to think that the problem lies with the CDD 521 driver supplied
by the CD authoring software I purchased with the system, namely WinOnCD –
(Have you heard of WinOnCD ?)
As I got the system mainly to record CDs and I am able to do that without any
problem there is no urgency in solving the read DTR problem but it does niggle
me. So if you have any other ideas I would love to hear them.
Cheers
Hugh
