#Audio from Apple CD-150
6 messages in this thread
Hello All, I buy an Apple CD-150 to use with my PC (as it was far cheaper
than a bare SONY drive …). Everything work correctly under DOS and OS/2,
but I can get it to play Audio CD, the system allway report a "drive
error". Now the questions : The drive is mounted internally and not
terminated, just because up to now I did'nt find an easy way to add a
terminator, Is there any possibility that the lack of a terminator prevent
it to run such command, despite the fact that the other command are OK ?
(including ejecting disk, lock …). Or, is Apple using a "proprietary"
version of this internal drive software and using another command to play
sound ? (In that case, I'll end up buying a Mac, something I think about,
so they ar'nt cheap …). Thanks for reply Thierry, Brussels, Belgium
Do you have the most current drivers from Sony? You can download the file
KODAK.TXT or CDROMF.ZIP. One of these files has the tech support number
for Sony.
Also what scsi host adapter are you using? Is it ASPI complaint?
Hello, I'm using an ADAPTEC 1542b SCSI Controller and the EZ-SCSI driver
from adaptec (ASPI) (1.0). Thanks for answer. Thierry
Your welcome.
The Adaptec drivers don't support sound on the Apple CD-150 drive.
If you want audio for that drive, Trantor sells an ASPI-based CD-ROM driver
that supports it. The ASPI package is $59. 1-800-TRANTOR 510-770-1400
The Trantor ASPI package will run with the Adaptec ASPI Manager (ASPI4DOS).
Hello, Thanks for info. However the CD150 has a SONY CDU-541 inside, which
is on the list of supported drives. Does it mean that the CD-150 has a
different internal software than gemuine SONY drives ? (I'm going to buy a
MAC II Vi next month … I just like the OS2 GUI, but need something with a
future, so I'll buy a MAC … (FWIW) Thierry
