The WD Chip obviously causes problems with Plextor CD-R PX-R24CS V1.50. However, if reselection is disabled, it seems to work. But since Plextor uses only a very small buffer, it is "dangerous" to work without reselection (watch the buffer display). If your source drive is connected to a 2nd SCSI hostadapter, no problems are expected, though. Or, if you get your data from a network (we were using Envoy 2.0/Ethernet and received our data from an A4000T), you probably won't have problems, if the network connection is fast enough. We were able to write in double speed with Envoy/Ethernet. We tried the Plextor in the A4000T, too - without such problems, since the A4000T is based on the NCR Chip and not on the WD, like the A3000 or GVP boards.
When using scsi.device version 40.20 on a A3000 (with A3640), the machine
crashed when accessing the device. We could fix this by installing a new
V43 beta scsi.device. See ftp://ftp.amiga.de/.
