Plasmon has some very rough, unsupported code on their BBS which illustrates the capabilities of parallel recording to their drives. The code only works with the Plasmon drives, however. As I said, it is also very raw. You would want to put a pretty interface on it and add some substantial functional improvements in order to make it worthwhile, but otherwise, I believe the hard part has been done for you. I would assume that any competent premastering SW developer would be able to crank out such a product. Maybe Easy-CD Pro 4.0? =;) The JVC system, as far as I know, uses a true SCSI multiplexing card to split off the signal and send it independently to each drive. They will only sell it as part of their turn-key system, and, of course, you are limited to JVC drives. Jeff Weiss [Eternal Archive Solutions, Inc.]
