Sounds very impressive, I was amazed at the speeds you got with it in
the review.

I think this is where I've been having problems. I have an Oktagon
2008, and while it is reliable and very easy to set up and use, I
suspect it is a bit slow compared to more modern controllers.
One thing I haven't been able to do is to make multi-session CDs, the
SCSI bus hangs every time.
I wondered if this might be due to the controller or the filesystem?
I've now chnaged from AmiCDFS to CacheCDFS, and as I got hold of an UW
HD at the KickStart Show I am now about to get my CyberStormPPC SCSI
controller up and running - hopefully I'll notice some difference!
I know that MakeCD is your preffered CD burning software - any
problems I should look out for when using it with the CyberStormPPC?
