big papa and dano,

the HP7200i, i do not know how familiar you are with this model, but there is an upgraded firmware for this drive. the drive comes with firmware 3.01. the updated firmware is 3.09.

the 3.09 firmware is for a traxdata model, but is the same drive as the HP7200. i used to have a HP7200i, which died in sept. 2000. i had another 7200 brand new in my closet and recently sold it when i got my yamaha 8424ez for $100.

my friend who has the HP7200i now has the 3.01 firmware. we tried to do a self booting title (quake 1), and it read the first session then started to write, and got a buffer underrun shortly thereafter.

i wonder if this would happen with the 3.09 firmware.

if anyone out there has the hp7200i and 3.09 firmware. please post your results.

also the reader he is using can't read subchannel data.

my yamaha burner does the quake 1 s/b fine.

i guess he will have to learn the cdirip method.

i may have him try using his writer as the reader also.

i have not tried any of the kalisto s/b's yet.

this drive worked great with the games that came out before the self booters with cdrwin2.7a.
