Am I out of luck?

My trusty Yamaha 4/2/6 SCSI CDRW finally died earlier this week after many years of service. I ordered a Yamaha CRW2100S (16/10/40) which is supposed to be here today. Does anybody know if this will work in CD Architect? I hate to have to spend a lot of money on getting a new Audio CD burning program. That's why I paid so much for CDA a few years ago. My only other option right now is the pathetic EasyCD Creator!!!

If Sonic Foundry doesn't want to update CDA, why can't they at least release whatever source code or information that would be needed for other developers to maintain compatibility with current hardware? It wouldn't cost them anything to do this. I would gladly pay a fee for this.

CDA is a terrific program and I'm so used to the Sonic Foundry GUI's by now that I hate to switch to anything else. IS ANYBODY FROM SONIC FOUNDRY LISTENING?!?!?!

This might help your new drive to be recognized:

Go to Options and click on "Select Drive". Now click the "Advanced" button on the lower right. Under the drive type menu, select either "SCSI MMC Compatible" or "ATAPI MMC Compatible" if the drive is not SCSI. Now pull down the SCSI Host menu, select option "0". Now pull down the SCSI CD-R menu and select your drive. If you do not see your drive, return to the SCSI Host menu and select option "1", and then pull down the SCSI CD-R menu and select your device.

Hi Ted,

I hope you can help. I also have cd architect, and i just upgraded to an hp 9500. It is an IDE drive. I tried your suggestion, but there is no listing for an ATaPI mme compatible. Is there an update to CD Architect?

Thanks for your help. I'll try that when I get it installed tonight.

Make certain that you have the latest update to 4.0g. That was needed to see some of the later drives.
