Well the 7200i is the drive i tried. Unfortunetly as I understand it, it
can't write -xa1 mode atleast under Linux.

Well this is _not_ a compabilety issue. As far as i know Linux supports
this drive fully. But unfortunetly the drive doesn't support -xa1 mode.

I don't know if this is a IDE issue, or if this HP and Sony who are
cheep. Personlay I can't see any good reason why not to implement every
avilable standard in a drive. But then again I'm no expert.

This brings up a good issue:  We should start a database of CDR Drives
that are known to work and some that have had problems.  As a start
can you all share what drives you've had experiences with.  I personally
own an HP 7200i (ide) and if Rene says they won't work, I'm going to need
to go shopping.  

This adds a new dimenson to my hardware choices.  First I had to make 
sure they were on the Linux compatability list, now they should be DC 
compatable too.

Thanks,

Burning DC CDR dont work on some drives.
Personaly, I have had bad experice with HP IDE, but my Yamaha SCSI works
fine.
And no there is nothing you can do about it to my knolage.

[Linuxdc-dev] FAQ

[Gabe J. <ja...@ho...>]

Did you read the FAQ that comes with his release?

If so then is that your ISO he got all of this from?  If so then he "says"
he is trying to contact you to get permission to use it and says you are
violating the GPL>

The guy who posted the binary kernel did so without my knowledge, that's
why I'm trying to clean this up now.  I've already contacted the author of
dreamcastlinux.org so hopefully he will either take down the kernel or not
link to linuxdc directly.  As far as clarification of my position, I'm a
project lead (one of two) at linuxdc, and I didn't know this was
happenning until it was too late. 

I will keep the list and site posted until this is resolved.

Why do I get redirected to linuxdc.sourceforge.net when I go to
dreamcastlinux.org?  If you are not connected, why are your pages?

Ok, two things.  First, I used to have a Sony CRX140E and it would NOT
burn CD-XA Mode 1 or 2 CDs.  If you were able to then kudos - you did a
better job then me :).  But I returned my crappy Sony and bought a
Phillips instead.  But CRX140E's don't support XA Mode 1/2 in _hardware_,
according to cdrecord's documentation (README.SONY), so again, I don't
know how you were able to burn the other images you mentioned.

Second, I'm not really sure if you're referring to the questionable
"linux" kernel that Rene M. has been distributing, as you didn't specify
this in your post.  I don't know if you saw my "Clarifying.." post on
dcdev, but here goes: 

1. The kernel being distributed on dreamcastlinux.org is NOT supported by
   linuxdc.sourceforge.net.  We (Karl and I) didn't do it, and I don't
   want anything to do with it.

2. We will NEVER release a kernel without source, and NEVER release a
   kernel with proprietary/NDA Sega code in it.  This goes directly
   against the goals of the LinuxDC project and the kernel Rene
   distributed goes against this - which is why we won't support it.

I'm sorry I had to use your post to do it, but I think this is an issue
that needs to be nipped in the bud.  To all list subscribers: please
direct all questions about the kernel on dreamcastlinux.org to Rene M. and
NOT to this list.  We will only deal with the kernels that we produce,
period.

If someone asks you what LinuxDC is, here's a one-line retort:
"LinuxDC is a project that is documenting the Dreamcast hardware by
porting the Linux kernel to its hardware."

To those hanging in the balance, the RTC/timer stuff is done, it needs to
be merged with CVS, and I'm currently working on the actual Dreamcast
configuration (machine vector, read the source) and code for the G2 bus.
It's coming real soon now :).

[Linuxdc-dev] Burning to disc

[Jeff D. <jd...@dr...>]

Hey all,

I've followed the directions EXACTLY at http://mc.pp.se/dc/cdr.html to
burn this to a disc (changing of course dev=x,x,x).  For whatever reason,
though my drive burns the audio track w/o problems, it refuses to burn the
second session of the disc.  I've tried this under both Windows and Linux
(with cdrecord), getting the same error both times.  I'm using a Sony
CRX140E - as far as I can tell, a capable and modern drive (admittedly,
it's not explicitly on the compatibility list).

Does anyone know an alternative method of burning these discs?  I've
burned (images of) discs (the utopia boot disc, for example) with this
drive before... so I can't imagine why this one is giving me so many
problems.  

Thanks,
Jeff

Sounds very good to me.

Nice.


Sorry for not answering sooner. I've been away for exams. Please make sure
you're subscribed to our linuxdc-dev mailing list, so that we can do all
our non-sensitive discussions there from now on.
