Subject:Plextor Review In #22

Hiya all..

First up, nice review of the Plextor CDRW drive in the latest ish...

Now as most ppl have probably got fed up me saying, I'm having trouble with
my drive same as the reviewed model) and the PowerFlyerGOLD :-/

Anyway, going by the review it appears that I have got things set right and
I am now in contact with Elbox regarding my PIO speed problems.

I finally managed to write a couple of disks yesterday - one was a clone of
my Linux Mandrake cd and it did that in around 15minutes which I thought
was ok but could be improved upon once I got MakeCD figured out and worked
out (reported a write speed of about 13.7 iirc)

So then since that worked ok I made a backup of my work partition - 78megs
of data - this took about 25minutes (I accepted this cos I still aint set
MakeCD up and reported about 13x write again)

Finally, a bloke at work wanted a copy of my MP3's so there I went and wrote
650 megs of data to a CDR - 1HOUR and 15Minutes later it finally finished
writing the disk :-( (and this time reported a write speed of 14.2x (this
aint the source of buffer one I'm reading btw, it is the write one))

So what I want to know, is there any specific settings to do since it is a
burnproof drive regarding the MakeCD buffers? (I have the tooltype)
