Oh Dear, a mere 13.6x wot is faster than my Yamaha 8824S on my A4000T's SCSI
interface. How can you survive with such performance?
Tell you what, get yourself an SCSI interface and we'll swap CD-RW drives? :)

I find that different types of data burn at different speeds (Mode2 is slower
than Mode1, big endian wav files longer than little endian, etc). This isn't a
problem with BURN proof, I imagine.

Multisession discs, check the MakeCD manual and test with a CD-RW disc first.
