 ***************** SCSI and IO changes **********************
 - Read speed can be reduced for data tracks, too.
 - slightly improved generic SCSI handling
 - SCSI driver now choose supported write command automatically. This
   makes writing with Panasonic 7502 and HP 7500+ possible.
 - recognize more drives
 - MMC driver supports Panasonic/Matsushita 7502 now. However,
   this drive has several problems (at least with firmware V3.02 -
   V3.05 is available, but untested):
   * It often forgets the correct contents of the CD-R. E.g. "Update"
     after writing and fixation in test mode makes it forget the
     fixation, but not the tracks. Reinsert the CD-R in such a case.
     This prevents "write after test" writing.
   * It sometimes reads wrong track types from a CD-R (e.g. mode 2 
     instead of audio).
   * ISRCs in DAO don't work at the moment. Make sure your projects
     don't contain any, otherwise you will get an "Illegal field in
     command descriptor error". This might be fixed soon.
   * In DAO mixed CDs have to be copied with raw data. The drive
     cannot handle the different block sizes MakeCD uses. If you try
     to use cooked data you might get a "buffer underrun" between data
     and audio tracks. V3.1 will select raw data if you instruct MakeCD
     to choose automatically by using data mode "writer".
   * Mode 2, form 1 does not work in TAO.
   * In TAO gaps between tracks of different types are too short.
 - Bugfix: TOC type was chosen incorrectly for DAO if raw data was written,
   resulting in wrong medium type and not working PSX copies. This also
   caused Philips/Ricoh/Plextor writers to report a wrong mode for the
   mode 2 data track.
 - Bugfix: although none given, Philips/Ricoh wrote medium catalog number 
   both in TAO  and DAO. This made PSX copies unusable in a PlayStation.
 - Bugfix: data encoding for CDR_Plextor_Ricoh.driver was wrong, resulting
   in trashed DAO CD-Rs.
 - Bugfix (Philips, Plextor): didn't work with all controllers
 - Bugfix: removing the source CD while MakeCD was preparing for
   index scanning trapped MakeCD in a loop until the CD was inserted
   again.
 - Bugfix: CDR_Sony.driver couldn't write audio tracks.
 - SCSI error detection failed for JVC/Teac drives when connected to some
   controllers. This prevented writing to empty CD-Rs.
 - Yamaha CDR10x couldn't always write all tracks with
   cybppc.device V44.2, because this device doesn't report
   some essential sense codes. Enhanced workaround.
 - Bugfix: priority of conversion process was not always increased
 - Bugfix: MMC driver still knew Ricoh MP6200S.
 - MMC/ATAPI: support for writing mode 2 with block size 2332; enabled
   only for Sony 928E, because mode 2 with 2336 didn't work there. Not
   tested completely with Sony 928E yet.
   If only mode 2 writing fails for a MMC/ATAPI writer than this optional
   mode is not implemented. For known drives like the Sony 928E MakeCD selects
   a substitute automatically, but not generally, because PSX copies might
   be less compatible in this mode. You can enforce this workaround by
   setting a environment variable with "setenv MAKECD_MODE2_MIXED". If it
   works only this way, please tell Patrick.
 - MMC/ATAPI: $30 and $C are recognizes as buffer underruns, too.
 - Bugfix: CDs with two consecutive data tracks of the same type were
   not copied properly (e.g. video CDs).
 - Bugfix: Adding pause blocks to a ISO image that was written online was not
   possible.
 - MakeCD now adds some blocks to a created ISO image to compensate for read
   errors that might occur at the end (but never did so far - only the
   new Panasonic 7502 might trash the last two blocks).
 - Renamed CDR_MMC_ATAPI.driver to CDR_SCSI3_ATAPI.driver because of the
   confusion caused by the "ATAPI" in the name. ATAPI and MMC (Multi Media
   Command set defined by SCSI 3) are so similar that only ome driver is
   sufficient to cover both.

 ************************* GUI changes ********************************
 - Several QuickHelps were rewritten.
 - ISO image source file requester offers pattern gadgets and shows
   .info by default.
 - MakeCD can execute several user selectable commands on different
   occasions, e.g. to play sounds. If a command is not set, MakeCD
   flashes the screen instead to draw the intention to requesters.
 - MakeCD now indicates more clearly when the write window is idle again.
 - Track option gadgets are disabled if no track exists.
 - Track options window is opened after adding a new track.
 - Bugfix: changing tracks while pausing audio playing is possible now.
 - Bugfix: lock on base dir was not freed if the advanced options
   window was open when exiting the program.
 - Bugfix: Pausing audio playing did not always work properly, and volume
   and filter were reset at the beginning of each new track.
 - Bugfix: "-" could be entered in medium catalog number gadget, although it
   is an illegal character

              CD_Toshiba.driver 12.40 (12.02.98)

 ***************** SCSI and IO changes **********************
 - Bugfix CDR_Yamaha_CDR10x: DAO writing of cooked data + audio was broken.
 - Bugfix CDR_Panasonic: writing of audio was broken and the changed generic
   SCSI handling might have caused a worse performance.
 - Sony 928E: the drive didn't read mode 2 correctly, but with the new raw
   mode 2 reading it works now. Writing of mode 2 + audio now works, too.
 - Panasonic 7502: the tray is opened and closed to make the drive forget
   tracks written in test mode (necessary because just turning off the test
   mode confused this drive). With the Commodore scsi.device writing was
   aborted due to "bad status" errors although writing seemed to work fine.
   This is ignored now, but not completely tested yet.
 - Bugfix Philips CDD522: choosing speeds > 2 was not caught by the driver
   but caused an error requester.
 - Bugfix (SCSI3): ISRCs were written incorrectly in DAO
 - Bugfix: MakeCD might have got the track starts and lengths wrong by a
   factor of 2 or 4 if the source drive didn't use 2048 bytes as default
   block size or was set to this value by some other application.
 - CD_Toshiba.driver couldn't read audio tracks after reading a raw
   data track (it failed already for the first block).
 - improved index scanning to make it more robust
 - added some more drive IDs (see Compatibility.guide in case your drive
   is still not known)
 - Workaround: mode 2 tracks might have been recognized as mode 1 when
   writing in DAO with raw data. The relevant part of the track is okay
   and a PSX copy actually works in a PlayStation nonetheless. The reason
   are probably the missing checksums in the gap before the data track.
 - Workaround for mode 2 reading problems (see "MAKECD_READ_MODE2_RAW"
   below).
 - SCSI3/ATAPI Workaround "MAKECD_MODE2_MIXED" was renamed to
   "MAKECD_WRITE_MODE2_MIXED".
 - Workaround for PPC SCSI and fixation/repair/format problems:
   cybppc.device with version < 44.36 cancels all SCSI commands automatically
   that are not returned by the drive in a certain amount of time. This is
   done to prevent lockups of the SCSI bus, but it also aborted some of
   the commands that are used for CD writing and really go on for a while,
   the most common one probably being fixation. Formating, repair and DAO
   might also be affected.

   MakeCD now applies a workaround for this problem by making the drive return
   the command immediately and querying the drive until it is ready again.
   However, it depends on the drive and on the command whether this is
   possible or not. For fixation this immediate response is only supported by
   SCSI3/ATAPI, Philips, Plextor/Ricoh and Yamaha drives, but not by JVC/Teac,
   Panasonic/Matsushita or Sony drives (unless they use the SCSI3/ATAPI driver).
   It is not supported by any drive for the repair or format commands.

   This workaround is only used for the cybppc.device, because not all
   other controllers would handle this correctly (the dracoscsi.device
   crashes when fixating with a Philips CDD2600 this way).

 ********************* GUI changes **************************
 - CONTEXT SENSITIVE AMIGAGUIDE: Pressing HELP over a gadget opens the
   AmigaGuide documentation at the corresponding node. However, this is not
   possible with the V2.5 English documentation and the new translation is
   not ready yet.
 - MakeCD now allows the frequency of AIFF to be off by upto 10%, because
   not every system is able to produce exactly 44.1kHz. BE WARNED: MakeCD
   does not adapt the frequency, it just assumes it was 44.1kHz. Playing
   a sample with a frequency that is 10% too high or low already sounds
   quite awful!
 - Bugfix: text for publisher field in ISO image was wrong in some cases
 - Bugfix: manually jumping between tracks during audio playing still forgot
   the current settings for low pass filter and volume.
 - Bugfix: updating from final TAO to DAO was not possible with the menu
   item "Projects/Registration..."
 - MakeCD is more intelligent when choosing the best data format if you don't
   override this choice yourself by choosing "raw" or "cooked" explicitely:
   some drives like the Panasonic 7502 (firmeware 3.02) have problems when
   copying CDs with cooked data, so MakeCD uses raw data by default. However,
   if your source is an ISO image than cooked is used as MakeCD couldn't
   convert this to raw.
 - If speed cannot be set, then the speed gadgets are empty now and no longer
   set to the unused value.
 - Fix for problems with saving the settings. This might have failed after
   fixing the icon position of MakeCD if the Workbench protected the
   MakeCD.info from writing.
 - fixed some English texts


MakeCD V3.1a - update 1: CD_Toshiba 12.41 (16.02.98)
 - Bugfix CD_Toshiba: the fix for the "audio after raw" problem made things
   worse. Audio reading now didn't work at all with at least one drive :-(


MakeCD V3.1a - update 2 (available as public beta only):
   ReadWrite.module 13.32 public beta (18.03.98)
   SCSISupport.module 12.22 public beta (18.03.98)

   CDR_JVC_Teac.driver 12.46 public beta (18.03.98)

   CD_Toshiba.driver 12.46 public beta (18.03.98)

 - Setting speed with SCSI3/ATAPI is more sophisticated now and also
   checks the real speed used by the drive. This method solves problems
   with Plextor PX-426S and 2x with Ricoh MP6200S. Note that the Ricoh
   seems to be unable to write CD-RW in single speed at all.
 - Added raw encoding: now cooked data can be written to drives only
   supporting raw data in DAO, e.g. an ISO image can be written in DAO
   to a CDD2600.
   However, this conversion demands very much computing power and is even
   on a 060 hardly fast enough to keep up with 4x. The GUI definetely has
   to be changed to warn of that, and as this is not implemented yet the
   encoding feature is still disabled by default. It has to be enabled
   by setting the environment variable MAKECD_ALLOW_ENCODING.
 - The problem with reading the first blocks of a raw DAO copy in some drives
   should be fixed now.
 - Added some drive IDs and disabled session fixation in DAO for Ricoh 1420/
   Plextor PX-24C because these drives don't support that.
 - According to the Pioneer documentation modern Pioneer drives (like DR-U12X
   and DR-U24X) don't support speed selection at all, therefore they are now
   only recognised by the CD_Sony.driver, which doesn't set speed.
 - DAO was disabled for the HP 7100+ because firmware 1.x didn't implement
   it. However, we have been told that it was added with firmware 2.x to
   the HP 7100+ and the similar Philips CDD3610. DAO is now allowed by
   MakeCD again, but it hasn't been tested with either of these drives yet.
 - DAO is disabled for some drives that haven't implemented it. This avoids
   SCSI errors when trying to use it with such drives. However, for tests
   with newer firmware versions DAO can be enabled again by setting the
   environment variable MAKECD_ALLOW_DAO.
 - The priority of read, write and conversion process is increased when doing
   critical work. The default priority is 6, because the console.device is
   doing CPU consuming work at priority 5. These defaults can be changed by
   setting the environment variables MAKECD_INC_PRI_[READ|WRITE|CONV], but
   usually there should be no need to do that.
 - Invalid status errors that are reported by the combination A3000 SCSI +
   Panasonic 7502 are finally ignored properly, so data (= mode 1) works now.
   Audio never caused this invalid status errors. However, mode 2 is not
   working because the SCSI bus locks completely.
 - CD_ATAPI can (and should) be used to read CDs with the Sony 928E.
 - No CD_ driver tries to read session infos any more - this was not used
   for the source drive and sometimes seemed to have caused problems.
 - Automatic "IO Error" handling didn't work properly. Now the real errors
   are always reported, too. Write errors are no longer ignored automatically.
   However, for read errors that lead to an automatic abort the text still
   says "User abort".
 - Bugfix: potential memory trashing with the READ_MODE2_RAW workaround.
 - Bugfix: using delete mode "immediately" with DAO caused an internal error.
 - "Write after test" didn't work properly with drives using the open/close
   tray method (Panasonic 7502).
 - Bugfix: under a certain timing the amount of filled bytes in the
   MakeCD buffer could have been displayed as a large number and 100%.
 - Bugfix: SCSI errors were ignored after one command (only happened with
   Plextor PX-624C in one case).

               CD_Toshiba.driver 12.47 (08.04.98)

 all changes from public beta above and:
 - Bugfix: converting from raw to cooked data could cause memory trashing.
 - Added fallback in mode 2 recognition to raw block reading => mode 2
   should be recognized by some more drives.
 - Allowed CD_Plextor.driver for Pioneer drives again, because at least
   one user was able to set the speed with his DR-U12X (firmware 1.06
   1996/10/), although the documentation said that this drive always reads
   at maximum speed.
 - Teac 56S is no longer fixed to CD_ATAPI.driver, because audio reading
   didn't always work.

 ***************** SCSI and IO changes **********************

 - *** DAO for JVC/Teac ***
   This is the recommended way of writing CD-Rs with the JVC drives.
   It's less error prone than the stop-and-go writing in TAO, and
   therefore TAO has to be regarded as being unsupported. Mode 2
   writing in TAO has never been tested, but works in DAO. DAO also
   solves the TAO problem of CD players stopping at the gap between
   tracks.
   ISRC/Medium Catalog Number are not supported by at least the JVC
   XR-W2010 with firmware V1.51 and errors when trying to use them
   are silently ignored.
   At least the Philips CDD2600 always only sees the first session
   of a DAO-CD-R written with JVC XR-W2010 V1.51, even though
   "Fixate: Session" was used and other drives (JVC itself, Yamaha
   CDR100) find the next session(s). Could only be fixed by JVC or
   Philips.
 - MakeCD now reads mono and stereo audio data in 8 or 16 bit and with
   any frequency. They can be transformed to stereo, 16 bit, 44.1kHz
   on-the-fly, but frequency resampling requires a fast CPU.
   The following audio file formats are supported:
   * AIFF
   * AIFC (only uncompressed)
   * MAUD (uncompressed, u-law, a-law)
   * WAV (only uncompressed)
   * MPEG-A (mpega.library from Stephane TAVENARD has to be installed)
   * Samplitude HDP (only 44.1kHz!)
 - MPEG-A: recognition of this file type cannot be done with 100% certainty.
   It takes a long time to find that a normal image file is not MPEG-A,
   and sometimes some are even recognized as MPEGA-A although they aren't.
   Therefore MakeCD is no longer testing if a file that has a corresponding
   ".CDT" (i.e. was originally written by MakeCD itself) or has the suffix
   ".cdda" or ".raw" is MPEG-A. You cannot compress the image files any
   more without renaming them or deleting the .CDT file, but otherwise you
   are strongly encouraged to leave the .CDT file as it is or to use one of
   the suffices to mark CDDA!
   If you have problems with MPEG-A recognition, then please contact the
   author of the mpega.library, as the recognition is completely done
   by this library.
 - MakeCD also writes different audio formats. This is selected by
   using appropriate suffices for the image filenames:
   AIFF: .aiff, .aif
   AIFC: .afc, .aifc
   MAUD: .maud
   WAVE: .wav, .wave
   All data is always uncompressed, 16bit, stereo, 44.1kHz.
 - Some drives allow to write more than the nominal capacity of data in DAO.
   This is probably possible by bending some rules in CD-ROM/CD-R standards.
   You may use this "feature" now by ignoring the warning that MakeCD
   issues if space is not sufficient, but be warned: your drive may report
   errors.
   Yamaha CDR10x doesn't support this. CDD2600 allows writing of any amount
   of data, but does no check itself at all. Instead, writing fails at the end.
 - Changed generic SCSI handling: MakeCD was using redundant commands
   that might have avoided certain timing problems with some systems
   (e.g. Philips CDD2600 + Phase 5 SCSI kit + audio reading).
   Unfortunately this also seemed to increase the likelihood of SCSI
   problems on unstable systems (e.g. reported for Fastlane). Now
   these redundant commands are only used when reading audio from
   Philips drives. If you think MakeCD is less stable or audio quality
   decreased in V3.2, then use "setenv MAKECD_COMPLEX_SCSI_IO=1" to
   go back to the previous behaviour and report if this helps. As
   before, "setenv MAKECD_SIMPLE_SCSI_IO=1" avoids unnecessary commands
   completely.
 - CD_Sony and CD_Plextor were merged, because the only difference
   was the ability to set speed with CD_Plextor. This ability is now
   tested automatically, so there's no need anymore to select the
   correct driver. Should this test fail, then you can fix this ability
   with MAKECD_SONY_PLEXTOR_SPEED_NO and MAKECD_SONY_PLEXTOR_SPEED_YES.
 - Raw encoding (calculating error correction codes and checksums) is enabled,
   but there is a warning about the high CPU demands. One choice in this
   requester disables the warning permanently. Raw encoding is necessary to
   write ISO images in DAO to drives like the Philips CDD2600, Ricoh MP6200S
   and Ricoh 1420 that only support raw data in DAO.
 - TAO + same source/target + "Write Tracks": you can avoid swapping
   source and target disc for every track now. If you choose
   "Delete image: after CD/never" instead of "immediately", then MakeCD
   will copy these tracks to images first, because you need the space
   for all images at once anyway. "Delete image: immediately" can still
   be used to copy a CD one track at a time (in case you don't have enough
   HD space).
 - Teac 55S: sometimes the drive reports an empty CD if there are read
   errors when the drive specific commands are used; MakeCD recognizes this
   now and uses the standard command in this case.
 - Plextor PX-412: the BLOCK jumper may be set now. This helped to avoid
   SCSI problems with a CyberSCSI controller and might help on other
   systems, too. This helps because this jumper not only changes the default
   block size but also reduces the peak transfer rate from 10MB/s to 5MB/s.
 - Mitsumi 2600TE/2800TE: the MAKECD_MODE2_WRITE_MIXED workaround is now 
   enabled by default, because the normal method of writing with 2336 bytes
   is not supported by the drive.
   Workaround for crash during fixation. Many thanks to Eyetech for providing
   their EZWriter kit (A1200 + Mitsumi CR-2801TE) as test environment!
 - This workaround will be selected automatically now for all unknown drives.
 - CD_Atapi: workaround for NEC CD-ROM DRIVE:282 V3.05
 - Classic Squirrel: Some SCSI devices don't set scsi_Actual correctly.
   In this case MakeCD is adding warnings to the internal log, which may
   slow down the reading/writing if they cause every read/write command
   to be logged.
   This happened with the Classic Squirrel that seems to return only
   transfer lengths that are a multiple of 512, even if some other amount
   of data was transfered. These warnings are now always turned off for
   squirrelscsi.device. If you have another SCSI device that has this
   problem, then "setenv MAKECD_NO_LENGTH_WARNING=1".
   NTB: not all of the warnings are harmful! When reading the buffer is
   larger than the transferred data.
 - Philips CDD2000/2600: writing indices in TAO is now optional and
   disabled by default, because the command used to setup the indices
   seems to be more prone to a SCSI lock-up. Use
   "setenv MAKECD_ALLOW_TAO_INDICES=1" if you want to use this feature
   again, but be warned...
 - Bugfix CDR_SCSI3_ATAPI: "cooked data" in DAO caused wrong buffer underrun
   messages if a "negative pause" was used to get pregap data from the source
   track. Unfortunately "format of the writer" was "cooked data" for all
   drives but Panasonic 7502.
 - Bugfix: errors after writing the tracks or the session were not
   reported - this could have hidden the fact the drive didn't write
   the CD-R correctly, e.g. due to medium errors.
 - Bugfix CDR_Panasonic: 1x and 2x speed couldn't be set.
 - Bugfix: reading didn't proceed in the special case of direct copying of a
   audio CD in DAO, lead-in data generated for drive (e.g. Philips CDD2600),
   buffer larger than 20MB and "Fill Buffer completely" enabled.
 - Bugfix (at least CDR_Philips_2600): a CD-R that had been filled completely
   (e.g. by ignoring a warning about insufficient space in TAO) was reported
   as being fixated even if it wasn't. Fixation was still possible, though.
 - Bugfix (at least CDR_Philips_2600): "Write after Test" in DAO might have
   failed with a SCSI error after the successful simulated write and before
   starting the real write.
 - Bugfix: "Ignore" in the "Incomplete image file" requester didn't work
   properly when creating several image files at once.
 - Bugfix: reading/writing project and .CDT files with no indices might
   have trashed memory.
 - Bugfix: scanning ISO tracks with a directory with many (>5000) files could
   have failed
 - When writing in TAO without any fixation, MakeCD now assumes you are going
   to fix the CD and not only the session. This avoids an unnecessary warning.
 - Source drive is reset properly after scanning for indices.
 - Added fallback in mode 2 recognition to raw block reading => mode 2
   should be recognized by some more drives.
 - When aborting writing after a read error caused a write error, the
   write error was reported and not the read error (happened only with
   JVC DAO).
 - Read errors at the very end of an audio CD (the last 1/3 second) are
   ignored automatically. Many Toshibas had problems reading the last block.
 - If your writer doesn't update properly after a test write, then
   "setenv MAKECD_UPDATE_EJECT=1" chooses eject/insert as the method
   to do the update.
 - To avoid problems with the maximum filename length of the FS ".CDT"
   files get shorter filenames now if necessary and another suffices are
   replaced.
 - MAKECD_NO_WRITE_LOG disables logging of write process during
   time critical sections.


 ********************* GUI changes **************************

 - ** NEW: AIFF-CD *** - a file format that allows you to store all the
   data defining an audio CD or a mixed mode CD in a single file. Programs
   not knowing the extensions will still be able to use the audio data,
   but this format is especially useful if you have a sound editing
   software that knows the CD specific extensions, like Samplitude.
   Then you can setup your audio CD including indices and tracks with
   the advanced features of the audio editing software and write with
   MakeCD, or copy a CD into a AIFF-CD file with MakeCD and edit this
   before writing it back to CD-R.
 - *** novice mode *** that hides the more advanced gadgets:
   audio tracks: indices, ISRC, Medium Catalog Number
   track options: start and length of source, pause
   project options: start block, audio CD start, DAO data format
   ISO images: all ISO/Rockridge and boot options
   copy/append CD: data and file format, ISRC reading and index scanning
   write window: transfer rates, indices
 - "ISO level: Amiga" is now the default value as this mode is more
   flexibel and CD-ROMs created this way work fine with Amiga and
   other systems, although some ISO 9660 rules are no longer enforced.
 - added track editing function to split the current track at the selected
   indices
 - error requester for invalid audio image length now allows to accept
   such images and to change the corresponding setting
 - If using image files is the default (either because the current track
   uses one or this gadget state was saved), this is not disabled when
   adding a MPEG-A image because decoding MPEG-A might be so slow that
   a temporary image file is required.
 - The MakeCD environment variables can now alternatively also be
   set in the tooltypes instead. They control some internal behaviour
   only and are not ment to be used regularly.
 - MakeCD now supports automatic opening of the tray/disc ejection
   after writing and when asking for a specific disc. This behaviour
   is configurable in the commands settings window.
 - Enhanced "audio CD start" workaround: instead of setting up a project
   that reads audio tracks from different positions the driver itself
   reads from the appropriate position to get the right data. This can
   be selected in the compatibility settings.
 - Made index scanning more robust to compensate for inexact drives.
   However, still the same method is used to get subcodes, so it won't
   solve the problem that some drives fail with a "track following" or
   "positioning" error.
   As some copies of games only work with index pause, a default index
   pause will be set if no scanning was done or failed. This can be
   selected in the "Append/Copy CD" window.
 - Automatically created filenames now also contain the length to get
   different filenames for tracks from different CDs.
 - The following warnings/messages will now be issued:
   + raw data encoding, MPEG-A decoding or frequency resampling
     might be too slow for on-the-fly
   + buffer cannot be allocated completely
   + writing in DAO and trying to delete an image file immediately
   Reactions for each can (optionally) be saved permanently in the
   requester.
 - ISO image path is now always cleared when disabling it and set to
   the path derived from the source when enabling it again.
 - more detailed explanation why type of image file is not suitable
 - MakeCD now saves the settings in the icon it was started with.
   The main program doesn't have to be copied to use different settings for
   different occasions, it's sufficient to create some project icon that
   has MakeCD as default project. If the new icon hasn't got any settings,
   the main program's settings are used as default until they are saved for
   the first time.
 - "CD_COPY" as tooltype or shell switch causes MakeCD to go directly
   to the CD copy window. From there "Exit Window" and "Setup Project"
   still lead back to the main window. This tooltype is used in
   CDCopy.info to get a simple "separate" CD copy program...
 - "USE_MAIN_PREFS" causes MakeCD to change tooltypes in the program's
   icon when saving settings instead of the icon it was started with. This
   is used in CDCopy.info already so that settings only have to be done
   once for the whole program and stay consistent.
 - All other windows are closed while the write window is open.
 - Selection of new audio position during playing was improved (now waits
   until value hasn't been changed for a short while before jumping).
 - MakeCD doesn't require valid base dir to open settings any more.
 - "Copy CD" achieved exact track starts in TAO by truncating audio tracks.
   This was not obvious and not always desired, therefore this behaviour
   is now configurable in the "Copy CD" window.
 - The write window and the abort requester now both remind of the current
   activity (writing for real, in test mode, not to CD-R at all). It is
   also much more verbose about what MakeCD is doing and even predicts
   what actions will happen after "Start" and how much time is still
   required.
 - Write window displays message while unlocking filesystems and before
   closing the window - some filesystems sometimes lock up MakeCD at this
   stage, for unknown reasons.
 - The maximum buffer size is not updated after writing even though the memory
   is already freed - this is not quite correct, but less confusing.
 - Playing a single track now starts immediately because no track
   selection is necessary and the other parameters can be easily changed
   while playing.
 - MakeCD now distinguishes between "user abort" and "automatic abort as
   requested by IO error setting" in messages.
 - amigaguide.library is no longer essential to run MakeCD.
 - Bugfix: file requester for CDTV/CD32 boot file didn't work properly.
 - Bugfix: menu item "Update writer" didn't work.
 - Bugfix: menu item "Fix CD-R" only fixated the session

 - **8SVX samples*** are now imported in mono and stereo as long as they
   are pure samples, i.e. without repititions.
 - bugfix: "Adapt Audio Start" in the hardware compatibilities was not saved
   correctly.
 - Filtering .CDT in the image file requester is no longer done with a simple
   pattern but with a more intelligent function, because for long file names
   the suffix is truncated and not recognized.
 - Some drives had problems during scanning of the SCSI bus if the
   CD_Sony_Plextor.driver was installed.
 - bugfix: jumping within MPEG-A images during playing was only possible in
   the first ~40min of each image
 - bugfix: getting the length of .WAV files without FACT chunk broke in a
   last minute fix for invalid .WAV headers :-/
 - CD_ATAPI.driver: reading didn't work with drives any more that didn't
   support selecting the block size.
 - ".iso" can also be used to prevent the (false) recognition of images
   as MPEG-A.
 - bugfix CDR_Ricoh_6200/CDR_SCSI3_ATAPI.driver: erasing a track on a CD-RW
   was _clearing_ the track, i.e. overwriting its contents with zero, and
   not actually _removing_ it as documented in MakeCD.
   BTW: if erasing a CD-RW doesn't work, turn off the global test mode again
   as it is by default - the test mode setting in the write window is set
   and saved independently.
 - bugfix DAO + session fixation: MakeCD overestimated the required
   space by 30s and therefore issued a warning in cases where it wasn't 
   necessary.
 - bugfix: conversion of strange frequencies left some random bytes at the
   end of the sample uncleared, which resulted in a short clicking noise.
 - workaround for MAUD: different interpretations are used for the field
   defining the length of the sample. Unfortunately, MakeCD had been
   made compliant with a software that set this field incorrectly and
   therefore read only one half of correct samples. The real length is
   now recognized in both cases and correct MAUD images are generated.

MakeCD V3.2a, update (beta):
 ReadWrite.module 15.58 public beta (12.09.98)
 CD_Toshiba.driver 13.78 public beta (12.09.98)
 
 - workaround for 8SVX files with invalid number of samples in header
 - CD_Toshiba: the driver now tries to enable a 4x audio read mode
   that is supported by some Toshiba drives, e.g. XM5701B, XM6201B, and
   XM3801B. Reducing the speed for normal data tracks to 1x is also
   possible.
 - CD_Toshiba/CD_Plextor: the environment variable for enabling/preventing
   speed selection have been changed to MAKECD_SPEED_NO and
   MAKECD_SPEED_YES.
 - bugfix: byte order of raw data files could have been reversed,
   completely trashing data tracks in DAO.

 ***************** SCSI and IO changes **********************

 - JVC/Teac: avoid zero length pauses, which were not handled correctly
   by the Teac 55S. This causes MakeCD to lock after filling the buffer
   and might have been responsible for the invalid mixed mode CD-Rs, too.
 - Teac 55S: workaround for the drive returning an invalid and random
   start block. This failure made it impossible to write multisession
   CD-Rs or to read such a track.
 - bugfix: changing the code for padding audio samples broke the padding
   in some other cases, resulting in glitches at the end of tracks.
 - Philips CDD3600: support for TAO; update after simulated write with
   ejecting caddy as it doesn't work without; audio scanning.
 - Yamaha CRW4001: writing in DAO is possible now, too (I think it did
   before already, but perhaps a more recent firmware broke this?).
 - Yamaha CRW4416S: workaround for invalid mode 2 recognition
 - added recognition of Plextor PX40 and PX-R820T and guessed
   strings for new Yamaha drives
 - Philips CDD522: writing in TAO reported an after each track, which
   is now avoided
 - JVC XR-W2042: added recognition and support for erasing CD-RW
 - CDR_SCSI3_ATAPI.driver: ISRCs were written for the wrong tracks
   beyond track 9 in DAO.
 - Mitsumi CR-4801TE: added recognition and enabled workaround for 
   fixation crash
 - The workaround for crashes after fixation with the Mitsumi
   ATAPI drives can now be enabled by setting the tooltype
   MAKECD_MITSUMI_FIXATE.
 - Mitsumi ATAPI/SCSI3 drives: recent firmware revisions finally
   implement cue-sheet-DAO (at least for the Mitsumi CR-4801TE),
   so MakeCD allows DAO again. If you get the error
   "MODE_SELECT6: Illegal Field in Parameter List", see
   below for an explanation and perhaps update the firmware.
 - Plextor PX-W4420T: added recognition
 - Plextor PX-R412C, PX-R820T, PX-W4220T: recent firmware revisions
   failed to write PSX discs correctly in DAO. MakeCD works around
   this problem by using a slightly different data mode.
   MAKECD_WRITE_MODE2_MIXED_DAO enables this mode (which is on by
   default for the Plextor drives) and MAKECD_WRITE_MODE2_MIXED_DAO_NO
   overrides this default (for testing purposes).
 - Yamaha drives: index scanning was off by two second because the
   firmware reports a position that was shifted by 150 blocks.
   MAKECD_AUDIO_MSF works around this problem by avoiding the incorrect
   logical block addresses. It is enabled for Yamaha drives by default.
 - HP CD-Writer+ 7200i: the drive does not update properly after
   a test write, so now the "brute force" method of ejecting the disc
   is used by default (MAKECD_UPDATE_EJECT).
 - MAKECD_RETRIES can be used to increase the number of automatic
   retries in case of read errors from a CD. The default is 2, because
   most drives do retries themselves already.
 - Memorex CR-622: added recognition
 - audio scanning: with some drives MakeCD would have to start audio
   playing beyond the end of the disc in order to get a value from the
   actually desired position - this only resulted in an error and is
   avoided now.
 - Audio scanning now also recognises tracks without pause correctly.
 - mpega.library for WarpOS: workaround for the library's broken
   IO functions; MakeCD uses asyncio.lib now (does not improve
   performance unless the source MPEG-A is on an extremly slow device).
 - bugfix: downsampling of audio data broke recently
 - changed module initialisation

 ********************* GUI changes **************************

 - Requesters behave like the other windows now: they are not
   activated if no MakeCD window is active.
 - Shortened filenames created by "Copy/Append CD":
   AudioN = AudioNormal, AudioP = AudioPreamphasize
 - Enabled #?.cdt as reject pattern again for incomplete ASL replacements
   that don't use the filter function that was (and is) provided by MakeCD.
 - reread CD-R contents after fixation/repair/format only if
   action was not canceled.
 - bugfix: size of project was not updated after appending another
   project
 - bugfix: from the Shell MakeCD had to be started with the current
   directory being the directory with the program, otherwise saving
   prefs was impossible.
 - fixed some underscore clashes in the English gadget texts,
   enabled more than 99:99min display of total CD length
 - The buffer display was incorrect after aborting while filling
   the buffer.

 - makecdromfs.module: release V3.2b came with a newer version
   than originally listed in the history (V11.2 instead of V11.0)
   and didn't mention that this version fixed the long filename
   crash. However, in V11.2 the file list feature broke (larger
   numbers of entries don't work).
   Therefore V3.2b update 1 comes with both versions in modules.
   Please use the one that is more suitable for your tasks by
   renaming it to "makecdromfs.module" without version in the
   filename.
 - Any user registered for commercial usage of MakeCD is now allowed
   to use MakeCD without any restrictions, i.e. those who were not
   allowed to produce master CDs for mass reproduction are now allowed
   to do so and can set the publisher field of an ISO track.

   A registration for commercial usage is thus available from Katrin
   Schmidt for the fixed price of 300,- no matter what you are going
   to use it for. We understand that our previous system has outlived
   itself, but it has at least to some extend served its purpose:
   by getting more money from those who could afford it we were able
   to offer MakeCD cheaper to others. Therefore our thanks are due to
   those who have accepted to pay the higher rate - I hope you don't
   feel cheated and understand why we grant the same rights to all
   commercial users now.
 - added recognition of: MITSUMI CR-4802TE, RICOH MP7040[A/S],
   TEAC CD-R56S and CD-R58S, PIONEER DVD-ROM DVD-303/DVD-U02,
   SAMSUNG CD-ROM SCR-3231, YAMAHA CRW6416S, PLEXTOR PX-W8220T
 - enabled eject workaround for Acer CD-R/RW CRW6206A
 - disabled speed setting for Sony CD-ROM CDU-76S because of problems
 - bugfix: removed a race condition that prevented MakeCD from
   closing its write window when its task priorities had been changed
   by the user.
 - Fixed one problem with transfer length warnings when reading a
   mixed mode CD with a MMC drive connected to Phase 5 SCSI devices.
 - Some ATAPI CD-ROMs are unable to cope with chunk sizes beyond 64KB
   (e.g. Asus 50x). Unfortunately MakeCD was rounding up the selected
   chunk size to the next common multiple of 512 and the blocksize
   in order to (possibly) increasing filesystem performance, which
   happens to be larger for audio. Therefore writing audio images to
   disk failed, whereas direct copying and playing tracks worked. Now
   the selected chunk size is a real upper limit.
 - The mode 2 writing mode which can be selected for MMC drives with
   MAKECD_WRITE_MODE2_MIXED_DAO is now the default for unknown drives,
   because it seems to be more commonly used and thus works better.
   E.g. the Plextor drives needed this tooltype. The other mode
   can be selected with MAKECD_WRITE_MODE2_MIXED_DAO_NO.
 - The GUI allows setting the chunk size to a minimum of 20KB. If you
   get the IO error -4 and use the uaescsi.device (part of UAE 0.8.9),
   then reduce the chunk size to something below 32KB or recompile
   your kernel with a larger maximum SCSI DMA transfer.

 - Added raw writing (aka ATAPI DAO) to the
   CDR_SCSI3_ATAPI.driver; now all modern drives should
   be supported in both TAO and DAO.
   MakeCD recognizes which mode is used by a drive and
   uses cue-sheet-DAO if possible, because it does not
   require raw data and allows to fixate only the session.
   (look at the drive properties to find out if the
   CDR_SCSI3_ATAPI.driver only supports raw data in DAO
   for your drive; then it is limited to raw writing).
   You can force MakeCD to use raw writing by adding
   MAKECD_RAW_WRITING to the tooltypes.
 - move to the correct position in an image file before
   starting to write; helps to avoid buffer underruns
   with FFS, a small buffer and files like AIFF-CD,
   where the reading position is very far away from the
   beginning
 - several workarounds for Sony and recent HP drives;
   DAO now works with e.g. CRX140S. MakeCD now uses a
   different command order when initializing for DAO
   writing - try MAKECD_OLD_DAO if you use the
   CDR_SCSI3_ATAPI.driver and DAO writing stops
   working with this version of MakeCD.
 - added recognition of Teac CR-R58S, Yamaha CRW8424E/S,
   Ricoh MP7060S, Plextor PX-W124TS, Plextor PX-W1210A,
   Sony CRX100E, Sony CRX140S, Mitsumi CR-4804TE,
   Cyberdrive CDRW602, HP CD-Writer+ 9100/9300;
   I have been told that the CR-4804TE does no longer
   require a delay after fixation to avoid crashes after
   firmware 2.6, so you may try adding
   "MAKECD_MITSUMI_FIX_DELAY=0" in you tooltypes.
 - Burn Proof writing can be enabled by setting
   MAKECD_BURN_PROOF in the tooltypes or as an environment
   variable. Only some 12x recorder support this; otherwise
   MakeCD will not use this mode and indicate this by adding
   "Burn Proof not supported" to the log.
   Burn Proof is a mode developed by Sanyo that tries to
   avoid buffer underruns by restarting burning as close as
   possible to the position where writing stopped.
 - try to enable high speed mode of 12x writers by setting
   one vendor specific bit
 - bugfix: 12x writing in DAO was only enabled when
   explicitely asking for it, but not when using "0" for
   maximum speed
 - GUI: when appending audio image files that need a target image
   file (i.e. when reading mp3), then the target file format is
   taken from the current track or the last saved gadget state.

 - setting speed was impossible with e.g. a Yamaha 8424 because
   the drive did not reject a vendor specific bit to enable high speed
   properly, even though the speed was not changed by the drive
 - workaround for reading certain discs with Ricoh MP7060 (the end
   of the disc was not reported properly, resulting in a long pause
   after the last track)

V3.2d public beta 3:
   MakeCD 3.72 public beta 3 (Sep 18 2000)

 - ISO9660 files with block size 2048 are now recognized even
   if they have some additional bytes at the end (e.g. as in
   Nero ISO images)
 - bugfix CDR_SCSI3_ATAPI.driver: writing mode 2, form 1 in TAO
   was not done correctly so that some drives refused to write;
   Yamahas somehow wrote anyway
 - fixation of XA discs still failed with some Sony (compatible)
   drives
 - speed settings doesn't try vendor specific bit anymore, as some
   drives didn't take this well - set MAKECD_VENDOR_SPEED_BIT if
   you suspect that your drive is not writing at its maximum speed

   CD_Toshiba.driver 13.95 public beta 4 (Oct  1 2000)

 - bugfix: the speed setting still didn't work - the code got to
   complicated with automatic detection of problems with the vendor
   specific bit, so now we are back at the code of V3.2c with one
   minor difference: MAKECD_VENDOR_SPEED_BIT will add a bit that
   some drives are said to need to enable a high speed mode

V3.2d public beta 5 (internal version)

V3.2d public beta 6 (VideoCD edition):

   MakeCD 3.74 public beta6 (Apr  1 2001)
   makecdromfs.module V11.2 (23-08-1998)
   SCSISupport.module 15.0 public beta6 (Apr  1 2001)

   CD_Toshiba.driver 14.1 public beta6 (Apr  1 2001)

 - Added import of .toc (cdrdao) images, which are generated by the VCDTools,
   and of .cue (CDRWin) images, which are generated by VCDGear. Note that
   MakeCD has to create a .CDT for each track in the image, but never deletes
   them. After writing the image these files can be deleted unless you save
   the MakeCD project for later reuse. MakeCD will refuse to write images that
   don't fit into the way MakeCD layouts a disc (one file per track, pregap
   data at the end of the previous track), but silently ignores options that
   don't prevent writing the disc (like additional CD Text infos).
   If MakeCD doesn't complain when importing an image, but writes an unexpected
   or malformed disc, then please send me a report which includes: the original
   .cue/.toc file (not the .bin), the .CDT files generated by MakeCD, the
   saved MakeCD project file (.mcd), a listing of the contents of the resulting
   disc (save this in the target CD-R window).
 - *** changed the block size for mode 2, form 2 tracks ***
   The old block size included 4 pad bytes. Now MakeCD only saves
   the real user data of 2324 bytes per block, so if you save the higher
   tracks of a VideoCD in this format, then the result is a valid MPEG
   system stream which is accepted by players and tools like VCDTools/VCDGear
   without further conversion.
   Note that you cannot write tracks in this format, because it doesn't
   contain the required additional information to generate a correct
   VideoCD track - you need these external tools to generate a complete
   image.
   If you happen to have image files in this format (highly unlikely,
   unless you have created some manually), then you cannot use them any
   more.
 - Added recognition of Plextor PX-W1210S and Ricoh MP7060A/MP7080S/MP7080A/
   MP8040S/MP8040A/MP7063A/MP7120A/MP9060A/MP9120A (plus OEM clones).
 - Added MAKECD_NO_UPDATE_EJECT to disable automatic disc ejects which
   are regarded as necessary to reset some drives by MakeCD - use with care.
 - CD_ATAPI/CDR_SCSI3_ATAPI.driver: don't insist on setting blocksize, as
   it fails f.i. with a CREATIVE-CD-RW RW8433E connected to a PowerFlyer


V3.2d public beta 7:

   CD_Toshiba.driver 14.2 public beta 7 (May  7 2001)

 - GUI: fixed typo in settings help text
 - avoid sending SCSI commands to device that are not supported anyway
   (used to crash a Wangtek scanner)
 - Sending NSD commands still causes some Exec devices to crash.
   If opening the requester to select a SCSI/IDE drive causes such
   a crash while building the list of available Exec devices (i.e.
   before you click on your SCSI/IDE device), then setting MAKECD_NO_NSD
   as tooltype or env variable should help.
 - Bugfix CDR_SCSI3_ATAPI.driver: due to a design flaw in MakeCD setting
   the speed either for reading or writing may have failed, depending on
   which speeds the drive supports.

 - CDR_SCSI3_ATAPI.driver couldn't be used with unknown Wearnes, Memorex,
   Traxdata, Nomai drives.
 - CDR_SCSI3_ATAPI.driver/CD_ATAPI.driver: added support for ATAPI
   adapters which don't support mode select/sense 6 correctly (which
   resulted in "illegal parameter list" e.g. with an Apollo adapter)
 - CDR_SCSI3_ATAPI.driver: writing PSX discs with Plextor
   PX-W124TS/PX-W1210A/PX-W1210S didn't work in betas 6 and 7 because 
   the mode2/mixed workaround of MakeCD V3.2b was disabled by accident.
 - Importing .toc/.cue files: if the mpega.libary was installed then
   some data files were recognized as MP3 and thus not treated as raw
   data. Now real MP3 files must have the suffix .mp3 or .mpega to
   be imported via .toc/.cue, which avoids the mishandling of the normal
   .bin files.

 - Added support for Yamaha CRW2200S, which is an IDE drive connected
   to SCSI by a bridge card. This interface and/or the writer are extremly
   unstable and often fails to report errors back to the host; instead it
   just hangs. MakeCD was adjusted to avoid all commands which might fail
   (also configurable for other drives, see below).
   NOTE1: you must not set the chunk size too large (<64KB seems to be okay),
          as this also hangs the interface
   NOTE2: querying the current speed sometimes returns incorrect values (e.g. 40
          or 24 even if a CD-RW is inserted), so MakeCD just sets the selected
          speed without checking it - I suggest to use 0 (= max) as write speed
          and set MAKECD_BURN_PROOF
 - Some drivers send commands to a drive to detect some of its characteristics.
   This is no longer done while searching for the correct/best driver,
   because the Yamaha CRW2200S hangs when queried by the CD_SONY_PLEXTOR.driver.
 - Several new tooltypes/env variables cause MakeCD to be more conservative
   with the commands it sends:
   * MAKECD_ATAPI disables commands not always supported by ATAPI
     drives/devices. If this is not set and proper errors are returned,
     then MakeCD would switch to ATAPI commands automatically.
   * MAKECD_NO_MCN disables commands to read the Media Catalog Number
     of a disc.
   * MAKECD_NO_DCR disables setting the error recovery mode page. This
     might affect error handling when reading from a drive.
   * MAKECD_NO_SPEED_CHECK: just set the desired speed without checking at
     what speed the writer actually operates afterwards; without this tooltype
     MakeCD reduces the speed until the real speed is equal or lower than the
     desired speed
  - The default behaviour was changed in some points and you can set
    these tooltypes/env variables to return MakeCD to the old
    behaviour:
    * The CDR_SCSI3_ATAPI.driver should be able to detect track lengths
      correctly even without trying to read the blocks at the end.
      MAKECD_CHECK_LENGTH forces MakeCD to read these blocks again.
    * The CDR_SCSI3_ATAPI.driver was iterating over all possible
      track numbers and waiting for an "invalid track" error. Now
      it relies on the drive reporting the highest track number
      correctly, unless you set MAKECD_TRY_ALL_TRACKS. This might
      also help also help with running MakeCD on Amithlon.
  - CD_SONY_PLEXTOR.driver is not picked for unknown drives any more
    if the CDR_SCSI3_ATAPI.driver is also installed; choose it
    manually if you have an unknown SCSI CD-ROM drive.
  - The changes done for the Yamaha 2200S might also help with a
    ACARD SCSI-IDE bridge; at least I could read the contents of
    a disc and write a mixed mode disc (mode 1 + audio) in DAO
    with the following drives and an ACARD AEC-7720U:
    * Yamaha 4416E
    * Plextor PX-RW1210A
    * Philips 4/4/24 clone
    I observed the same hangups upon read errors with the Yamaha
    and then haven't tried to trigger it with the other drives,
    but I believe they would have the same problem. The Philips
    clone uses raw writing and my (emulated) Amiga had CPU
    performance related problems at the gap before the data track;
    raw writing with only audio was okay.

  - added recognition of Yamaha CRW2100E, CRW2100S, CRW2200E, CRW3200E,
    CRW3200S, Plextor PX-W2410A, PX-W4012A
  - added workaround for mode 2 writing in TAO and DAO to an
    especially picky CD-Writer+ 9100
  - several HP CD-Writers required MAKECD_WRITE_MODE2_MIXED_DAO
    as tooltype to write mode 2 in DAO; this flag is now built into
    the driver
  - add MAKECD_NO_WRITE_SPEED_CONTROL to the tooltypes to force
    a writer to use a higher speed with discs it doesn't know;
    WARNING: this can lead to errors during writing and/or read
    errors on the written disc, use with care
  - removed global test mode setting; it was only used for
    simulated erasing/fixating and more often than not just
    confused users
  - Added support for new V45 makecdromfs.module with Joliet and HFS
    support and extended file list; old V11 makecdromfs.module is still
    supported. This new makecdromfs.module is not quite ready for
    release, but I have seen it - it's no vaporware! ;-) It will be
    made available as soon as it is ready.

  - added recognition of Yamaha CRW8824S/CRW8824E, Teac CD-W512SB,
    Plextor PX-W4012S, PX-320A, PX-W4824E, PX-716A
  - removed restrictions in ISO image creation for all registered users
  - fixed invalid memory access when importing .cue file (caused crash
    under OS4.0)
  - allow setting and writing of indices in data tracks:
    needed for some VideoCDs,
    only supported by CDR_SCSI_ATAPI.driver
  - added scanning of data tracks for indices:
    needed to copy some VideoCDs correctly,
    only supported by CD_ATAPI.driver and CDR_SCSI_ATAPI.driver
    and if the drive itself supports reading sub channel data.

    There is no way to check via the GUI whether the drive supports
    this or not: if a drive does not support it, it will return an error,
    but the error is silently ignored to let copying proceed exactly
    as it did with previous versions. One can generate a log file
    ("Project/Write Log" after appending a CD with index scanning
    enabled) and check whether the error occured by searching for
        SCSI_DRV_ReadTrackData() ... _failed_: SENSE KEY/CODE/QUAL $5/$24

V3.2d beta 12:
    MakeCD 3.78 public beta 12 (Jul  9 2007)
    modules/drivers as in beta 11

    - removed registration dialog: now MakeCD always assumes that the
      free public registration key was entered. The only loss in
      functionality is that an ISO track has an empty creator name
      unless something is entered manually; previously the name of
      the person who registered MakeCD was automatically entered there.


Known problems:
 - The MAKECD_ATAPI flag required for unknown Yamaha drives with SCSI
   bridge prevents recognizing Mode 2 tracks in SCSI CD-ROM drives.
 - Sony (and thus probably some HP drives) don't allow "Session Fixation"
   in DAO if at least one track is a data track. Use "Disc Fixation" if
   you get SCSI errors before writing starts. Also writing in DAO to a
   non-empty disc doesn't seem to be supported. Use TAO instead.
 - Some ATAPI drives cannot handle large chunks, e.g. the HP 9310i crashes
   when chunks larger than 128KB are used. Use smaller chunks, 64KB should
   be safe.
 - Teac 56S: PSX copies don't work when done in DAO; please use TAO instead.
 - Teac 50S: discs with data + audio tracks cannot be written in DAO
   (writing fails with error code $5/$CC). As the documentation shows, it
   is simply not supported by the firmware.
 - Panasonic 7502 V4.10: audio subcodes are incorrectly written in
   one case, but others were not able to reproduce this.
   Solution: avoid indices and index pauses if you have this problem,
   this works. To achieve this, set the "default index pause" to 0 in
   the "Copy CD" window and disable index scanning.
 - Remaining time during writing is sometimes completely wrong due to
   the way this estimation is done. That's just the way it works.
 - JVC XR-W2010 V1.51: ISRC/Medium Catalog Number are not supported,
   therefore errors when trying to use them are silently ignored.
   At least the Philips CDD2600 always only sees the first session
   of a DAO-CD-R written with JVC XR-W2010 V1.51, even though
   "Fixate: Session" was used and other drives (JVC itself, Yamaha
   CDR100) find the next session(s). Could only be fixed by JVC or
   Philips.
 - Before closing the write window MakeCD hangs on some systems. This
   is caused by the filesystem that MakeCD locked to get exclusive
   access to the hardware. Don't mount filesystems on your writer 
   or unmount them before using MakeCD.
 - The Sony 928E sometimes returns garbage values when reading the contents
   of a CD with the CD writer specific commands. This doesn't happen when
   the standard commands are used, so the CD_ATAPI driver should be used for
   reading from the Sony 928E.
 - workaround for mode 2 (2336 bytes) reading problems:
   Some drives deliver invalid data with this block size (Sony 928E), others
   report checksum errors although they shouldn't use the checksums (Plextor
   PX-20TS). In both cases reading raw data still works, so now MakeCD can
   read mode 2 tracks raw and throws away the unnecessary bytes if necessary.

   This workaround is enabled only for the Sony 928E, but not for any other
   drive, because some drives might read raw data slower and the additional
   processing requires more CPU time. On slow computers with fast drives the
   computer might perhaps even appear to be locked.

   If your drive has similar problems you can enable this workaround by
   creating the environment variable "MAKECD_READ_MODE2_RAW" (e.g. with
   "setenv MAKECD_READ_MODE2_RAW=1"). Please tell Patrick if your drive only
   reads mode 2 properly with this workaround.
 - Panasonic 7501: writing mode 2 fails with an error. As I haven't found a
   way around that mode 2 in spite of several different attempts this will
   stay this way, i.e. writing mode 2 will never be supported by
   CDR_Panasonic.driver.
 - Triton has some problems when you keep the cursor keys pressed
   to move within a listview: it might cause MakeCD to open windows.
   It also doesn't calculate the width of the data mode gadget correctly.
 - Ricoh MP6200S (V1.00): doesn't support medium catalog number in DAO,
                          swallows ISRC of first audio track in DAO
 - The amount of free blocks is not perfectly correct, because writers
   report different values depending on what was already written. Sometimes
   gaps are included and sometimes not. This causes an inaccuracy of upto
   3 seconds. The end of CD-R check is not affected, though.
 - The Ricoh MP6200S doesn't simulate formating. Therefore MakeCD doesn't
   issue the formating command at all if test mode is enabled.
 - Writing audio with preemphasize is not possible with CDR400 (upto V1.0d).
   Yamaha didn't respond to my bug report, so I implemented a fallback
   to normal audio.
 - Yamaha CDR400 sometimes panics after a buffer underrun and doesn't
   stop writing. Yamaha could not help with this problem yet.
 - Ricoh 1420 sometimes doesn't read contents properly. Exact reason/solution
   unknown, but turning disconnect off and SCSI bus reset help.
 - dracoscsi.device SCSI direct still doesn't work properly. You must have
   enough free memory in your first memory module or a 32MB module in the
   first socket, otherwise the dracoscsi.device will fail and probably cause
   crashes or read errors. The same rules apply to every other software doing
   SCSI direct.
