CDRWIN UPDATE NEWS - DECEMBER 29, 1998
***********************************************************************
Version 3.7A of CDRWIN will be released by the end of January 1999.
- Support for the following recorders will be added...
Memorex CRW-2216
Panasonic CW-7582
Plextor PX-R820T
Smart & Friendly 2224 Racer
Teac CD-R56S
- The CDROM "backup engine" has been completely rewritten. It will
backup discs with the data/audio tracks in *any* order. For example,
if the disc has the following layout, then CDRWIN will copy it...
Track #1 - MODE1
Track #2 - MODE2
Track #3 - AUDIO
Track #4 - AUDIO
Track #5 - MODE1
NOTE: This does not include multisession CD-EXTRA discs, where there
are audio tracks in the first session and a data track in the second
session. It is highly unlikely that these type of discs will ever be
supported for copying.
***********************************************************************
Version 3.6B of CDRWIN was last updated on November 9, 1998. This version
is available from the following FTP site...
ftp://ftp.cdarchive.com/pub/goldenhawk/download/cdr36b-e.exe
- Support for the following recorders has been added...
Acer 6206A
Cyberdrive 602

Smart & Friendly 8020
Sony CRX100E / CRX110E
Yamaha 4261 / 2216 / 4416
- Completely new "Backup Disc" screen. A simple to use backup
utility with all options on a single screen. Just select your
devices and click on START...
- Redesigned "Extract Disc" screen for making images of discs,
tracks, and sectors.
- Support for "importing" previous sessions from ISO9660 discs
(for creating true multisession discs).
- Drag and drop "Load Tracks" option on the "Record Disc" screen.
The feature makes it easier to create audio or CD+G compilation
discs without having to write a cuesheet file.
- Support for viewing the text strings on a CD-TEXT compatible
disc (on the "Table of Contents" screen).
- New "Disc Transporter" options (on the "Backup Disc" screen).
- Long filenames are now supported in cuesheet files. You must
enclose long filenames in quotes. For example...
FILE "C:\PROGRAM FILES\LONG FILENAME.WAV" WAVE
- Settings screen has a new tab for displaying information about
the harddrives on your system.
***********************************************************************
IDE/ATAPI SUPPORT FOR WINDOWS NT
CDRWIN version 3.6B now supports IDE CDROM drives/recorders under NT as
long as you have the proper ASPI drivers installed on your system.
If you have an Adaptec SCSI card and are unable to run our software
under Windows NT, then download and install the latest drivers from
Adaptec's FTP site...
ftp://ftp.adaptec.com/pub/BBS/winnt/aspi32.exe
If you do NOT own an Adaptec SCSI card or wish to use an IDE CDROM
drive or recorder, then you can get the required ASPI drivers from
the following FTP site...
ftp://grc.com/aspi_me.exe
The following files will be installed/updated on your system...
WINNT40\SYSTEM\WINASPI.DLL
WINNT40\SYSTEM\WOWPOST.EXE
WINNT40\SYSTEM32\WNASPI32.DLL
WINNT40\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ASPI32.SYS
You must also make sure that you have the proper ATAPI device driver and
that is is being started on your system at bootup...
1) Open the "Control Panel" folder and click on the "Devices" icon.
2) Find the ATAPI entry in the device driver list.
3) If the status is NOT set to "Started", then highlight the ATAPI
entry and click on the "Startup..." button. Select either the "Boot",
"System", or "Automatic" option.
WARNING: The ATAPI.SYS driver under NT 4.0 Service Pack 3 has a bug that
prevents CDRWIN from operating correctly with ATAPI CDROM devices. The
updated driver can be found at...
http://www.goldenhawk.com/support/bmnt4.zip
Unzip the above file and copy the updated ATAPI.SYS driver into the
WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS directory. Note: Service Packs 4 and later
supposedly do not have this problem, but we have not verified this.

CD+G KARAOKE PROBLEMS
Many customers have reported problems with the Plextor 412C recorder when
making CD+G discs. They have reported that the music and graphics are "out
of sync" on the copied discs. This has been unofficially confirmed by
Plextor to be a bug in their recorder and will be fixed in a future
release of the 412C firmware.
CD+G discs can be very difficult to copy... Unless you are using a high
quality recorder, blank disc, and Karaoke player, you will probably not get
perfect results. Many older Karaoke players were not designed to read CD-R
discs (CD-RW discs can *not* be used for CD+G).
We strongly recommend that you use "Mitsui" blank discs for recording CD+G
discs. They can be purchased from the following web site...
www.mediastore.com
***********************************************************************
CACHE SETTINGS
Many customers are selecting a cache size (on the "Settings" screen) that
is much too large for the amount of memory that they have on their system.
This could result in a severe performance *decrease*.
Recommended cache size based on the amount of memory on your system...
System Memory Recommended Cache Size
16 Mb DISABLED
32 Mb 1 to 2 Mb
64 Mb 2 to 4 Mb
128 Mb 4 to 8 Mb
256 Mb 8 to 16 Mb
