Question: I have an A3000 (scsi.device V40.12) and a Yamaha CDR 100. MakeCD works brilliantly. I have no problems at all. The Yahama seems to be a very good burner! However, my file system us unable to mount CDs on the CD-burner. MakeCD can read the data track, but my file system (BabelCDROMFS) comes up with "not a DOS disk". The same CD works fine in my CD-ROM drive -- even with the strange file system. This seems weird!
Answer: We tested the same configuration and experienced the same problem. The Yamaha CDR 100 is indeed a very good burner and is not to blame for this problem. The scsi.device has problems controlling the burner with the trackdisk command. It is possible that the same problem will arise with the A2091 and other Commodore host adapters. We were able to solve the problem on the A3000 by installing the new V34 scsi.device.
If you do not want to install scsi.device V34, use a file system that employs SCSI-direct commands. AmiCDFS (shareware) would be a good choice. In any case, make sure that the file system uses SCSI commands (check the documentation for your file system). Then, everything should be fine.
