#Mitsumi KODAK read probl
5 messages in this thread
Hallo dear helpers
I am using a CD-ROM drive MITSUMI CRMC–LU005S. No problems with audio and
normal data. But it just would not read KODAK photos from demo disk with
softsare on the same disk. It seems as if the drive had problems reading, and
after some time it reports a system error. However photo nr 1 can be read,
although terribly slowly.
My system is a 468/33 with 8MB.

Can anybody give me a hint as to what the problem might be and what I could do
about it?
Thanks a lot

Alex — Try removing the devicehigh statement before MTMCDE.SYS. I have had
some video problems with MTMCDE loaded high, and this MAY be the source of your
problems. Do you have any other problems with video?

Hi Draig
Thank you very much for the hint. As soon as I get my (first) Kodak-CD back I
shall try it out. I'll feedback to you.
Otherwise I have no problems with video, but I am not doint advanced things.

Alex,
Is the Lu005S the newer, faster Mitsumi. I don't have a suggestions for you
(sorry), but I'm interested to know if the Older, slower drive works with photo
CD.
My box just says CRMC. It is the 800-1000 ms access time drive (according to
the spec manual)
Thanks
Eric
Hi Eric
My CD-drive must be the older, slower one. It specifies
Seek time 12 cm disk: 1/3 stroke 350ms, full stroke 650ms
According to specs it is XA and multisession and supports Mode 1 and 2.
Transfer rate Mode 1 150KB/sec, mode 2 175KB/sec sustained
So it really should read Photo-CD's.
Regards … Alex
