The problem was to burn a compilation audio-CD; so it could be played on the audio-CD player on my mini-hifi system
There are two "boxes" identical OS and application; application on box I aborts burn twice; seemingly complaining about discontinuous audio stream; application on box II completes without problem.
Box I: 2.8Ghz dual core CPU 2GB RAM ; IDE CD/DVD burner SATA HD Box II : old Intel server-board 2.4GHz dual core x 2 Xeon CPU's and 2GB of RAM; CD/DVD burner is IDE with adaptor card so that HD and CD burner; are both on the SCSI bus connected to Adaptec 39320 LVD SCSI controller; in PCI-X slot. My knee-jerk reaction is:
WTF why are you using all those long-dead buses? Trent thanks for response Hmm......when I ask myself questions like that; I often suspect the answers are merely rationalising the status-quo ! ..... a miserly, sentimental old fool ? A brand-new SATA burner is $20. It's faster and cheaper to try that before debugging an old PATA or SCSI burner.
So SATA burner and drive....... no particular reason apart from time and money ?
Except if your motherboard has PCI-X and SCSI it probably predates ubiquitous SATA, so you'd have to replace the motherboard and probably CPU as well, and now I just want to go cry in a corner.
Whilst we deeply appreciate your empathy and sympathy; perhaps you should resist the trip to the corner till; still more sorrows have accrued ? :- | many thanks Rohan McLeod
