Disregard everything I said previously about the MP3's playing back poorly!
:-/
Is there a 'Dumb amiga user of the year award' going? If so, I reckon I must
be up there near the top!
Erm.. the Plextor did write the disk correctly (even the one done in about 5
and a bit mins) but the Amiga Sound was to blame (well, ok, I was to blame
being honest!).
During last week I stipped my system down again, trying to track my
Powerflyer bugs down. Anyway, after reassembling the whole lot and putting
the Mediator back in I powered up the system and all worked as usual, or so
I thought. Tonight I decided to listen to one of my MP3's.... thats when I
found the problem! Sound was stuttered and garbaged just like when I tried
to play it from the 'duff' CD. So there I went and decided to strip the
system again.
I took the side off the tower, removed IDE cables that were in the way and
then I saw two connectors hanging down.. P8 and P9 unplugged (the
powercables for the Mediator).
So it appears I was running the Mediator from power over the trapdoor slot!
:-O - the whole system was running off the Power input next to the LED
header! no wonder I was having sound trouble!
So now I only have the PIO speed setting problem to overcome and then
everything is great! (wondering if the lack of Mediator power would effect
the PIO speed now..)
Doh!
