Took a while to get working due to lack of docs, i.e. transport info and nothing else! Thanx Yamaha! This drive is an excellent piece of kit. 646mb Data track at 4x speed in 17mins! No problems encountered. Seems to enjoy any writable CD's up till now, very easy to feed ;-).

Nice 10x CDROM, works perfectly but doesn't like CD's with sticky labels (low clearance in drive). Reads CDDA.
Hard disk:
Seagate ST3144A 130 MB HD as boot drive.
Comments:
Got nowhere with this. MakeCD always reported Cmd Error $52, Drive not ready. Tried all possible settings.
Tips:
May be better in a Museum!
