Hi all! I was planning to use cdrdao for CDDA extraction with my Plextor drive. Consequently, I'd like to know if anyone could update me on the status of the Plextor drivers? Specifically, the README mentions that there is a bug in the driver that causes incorrect extraction under some circumstances. Is this fixed? And if not, does anyone have more information about the problem so that I can go ahead and try to fix it? Also, I currently have an UltraPlex 40max as well as a PlexCombo 20/10/40-12A on order. I learned from the list archive that there are currently problems with the support for the 40max. Can anyone tell me more about that? I'm able help out with doing extensive testing if necessary. I also guess that the PlexCombo will be an interesting story, since it's an E-IDE drive. Is there any chance that I could get the PlexDAE stuff working on that drive through SCSI-emulation? -- Christer Palm |

Audio extraction with the IDE drives should work (through the SCSI-emulation) with the 'generic-mmc' driver - the 'plextor' or 'plextor-scan' driver won't work. For the UltraPlex 40max you may safely use the 'plextor-scan' driver. Only the 'plextor' driver has currently a problem with the special plextor mode which extracts the C2 error data to determine if an audio sector was correctly read. The code works with older drives but breaks with the recent models. Since I don't have the hardware I cannot fix the problem myself. If you volunteer we can try some patches on your system.
