Hi Grant,
I did the "experiment" you suggested yesterday night, unfortunately with
somewhat disappointing results. I tried all possible parallel port settings
loading the pg driver with delay 0 and 1. Only in mode "unidirectional" I was
able to load the pg driver with delay 0. In all cases I get the same
"write error - loss of streaming" when trying to write a CD.
Please find enclosed the "experiment summary":
