A1200 + 1230scsi.device + Yamaha CDR 400

MakeCD version:

MakeCD 2.5

Computer:

A1200, 50mb ram (1st SIMM 16mb 60ns 2nd SIMM 32mb 60ns)
Blizzard 1260 card, 68060/60mhz (60mhz oscilator. OK!)
Blizzard 1230-IV SCSI controller

SCSI device:

Blizzard 1230scsi.device ver. 7.19

CD writer:

YAMAHA CDR400tx 1.0g 31/07/97

I knew my Yamaha FZR 1000 '90model was a blast of a motorbike but that Yamaha could also make one hell of a CD-burner never crossed my mind... hehe... Yamaha rocks... Buy both Yamaha's :-) No problems with the drive itself...

CD-ROM drive:

Plextor PX-32ts 32X UltraSCSI internal CD-ROM

Magnificent 32x SCSI CDROM, works perfectly. Rips audio in 8x speed with guaranteed success according to Plextor. I tried ripping audio at 16x speed to RAM: Still no problems... This one is just awesome!

IDE drives:

Quantum Fireball 3.2 GB UDMA EIDE HD 3.5"
Iomega ATAPI IDE internal ZIP drive

Comments:

Frequent SCSI hang-up's after 3-4 tracks burnt and loads of saucers until I turned Reselection OFF for both Plextor and Yamaha. You can patch 1230scsi.device to V8.x with a utility from Aminet called SoftSCSI and download the latest A1234.ROM from www.phase5.de Didn't change anything for me but perhaps for earlier versions of 1230scsi.device than my 7.19. Anyway... CD to CD, Image to CD, CD to Image all works suberb.
