oh no boys....
the clone cd site has just changed its mind on the acer writers! now it no longer writes raw dao 96 instead raw dao 94 - the writer generates its own 2 bytes on the subchannel - ahhhhhhhhhh.
Now, since safedisc v1&2 does not use subchannel routines?? will it still backup the latest games
Also does anyone know how securom v2 will affected as this is a subchannel protection scheme (note using a toshiba dvd to read subchannels data).

I have just ordered this Acer drive with a Toshiba DVD to act as a reader.
Its costing me £140 for both - or shall I buy the latest plextor offering for £185 ??? but then i dont have a dvd drive which i dont really need as i have a multiregion player.

yeah sure does, I read somewhere it does securom too but you need to use another cd rom drive that reads subchannel data. It only has problems with Libcrypt which are playstation games.
