Our Friend Oliver Kastl has been busy again with improving his great piece of software; CloneCD. Probably not THAT great improvements for the most of you, but it shows that he is still busy and still the Nr. one !
We also got a mail from Ziomik. According to him you can upgrade your Teac drive with firmware at:
ftp://ftp.teac.co.jp/pub/dspd/download/firmware/cdr/
to make it work with CloneCD. Please let us know if it works or not ! You can post it below in the reactions.
Version 2.3.3.2 26May 2000
New features:
- Improved Software Error Correction for better read results
- Increased write speed to 2x, when CloneCD is running in Demo Mode
- Progress is now displayed in the program icon in the task bar. Now you can monitor the progress, even if CloneCD is minimized.
- Added Options to fine-tune Fast Error Skip settings
- Type of Error Correction can now be specified (None, Software or Hardware)
- Number of read retries can now be specified
- Added Help for Sound Settings
- Read Speed Settings can be selected easier
- Minor cosmetic changes
Compatibility fixes and improvements:
Toshiba CD-ROMs and DVD-ROMs:
- In certain situations, the improved Fast Error Skip speed was a little bit too fast, and the drive read unreliable. The default settings for these drives are now more conservative, but you can use the new "Fast Error Skip" fine tuning to push your drive to the limit if you like.
Plextor CD-ROMs, Plextor CD-Writers, SONY CD-Writer CRX-120E, CRX-140E/S, CRX-145E/S, HP CD-Writer 8200i, 8210i, 9100i, 9110i, 9200i, 9210i, 9300i, 9310i:
- The defaults for "Fast Error Skip" haven't changed, but if you have scratched or otherwise damaged disks, you can increase the retry count with the new "Fast Error Skip" fine tuning options.
Plextor PX-R820:
- To fully evaluate CloneCD with this writer, the demo write speed has been increased to 2x.
