Hmmm....I was burning pretty short tracks -- most of 'em weren't any
longer than 3 minutes. The source is actually a partition on my hard
drive -- I don't do disc-to-disc copying. I do have the read speed set
to "0" [max], which although a Yamaha CRW4416, usually gives me betwee
12.3x and 13x in reading. Write speed, of course, 2x. With my GVP060 and
the A340, I always rounded out at about 2x or 2.1x...
BTW -- anybody know how much faster Cyberstorm is than the GVP060? With
my GVP060, the 060 version of MAME was slow...but last night it was much
faster; only had some sound synch problems, but man....it's wonderful!
Can't wait to try the PPC version!
BTW -- thanks for all your help, folks...Robert -- sorry about that! I
missed that "it's not in the docs" part of your post!
