Well RAM certainly isnt a problem in my 1200....I have 96MB of it.
I tried to see if I could make an ImageFile of the CD, CD1 got to
175MB before read errors struck. Basically, Icant copy any of the
main archives without hitting a read error on the 1200 - usually
hitting around 8-12% of the file before an error occurs. The SCSI
writer refuses point blank to read any of the CD at all, and thats
with all 3 CD's.

I've emailed clickboom both via portal and normal mail, so I'll see
what happens....but it seems to me they may have a mashed up
duplication processs not unlike the NC3 fiasco.

Cya,
Steven.
