problems indicing with cd architect

I can easily burn 25 indexes within 3-15 second tracks,and I can burn 99 tracks w/o indexes with no problem, but when I try to burn the same 99 tracks with the 500+ indexes included, I get all kinds of different messages like:
1)"The command specified an illegal length for the parameter list"
2)"An illegal request was recieved---option was selected in the parameter list that is not supported by this drive"
3)"An unknown drive error has occured"
4)"The command is not allowed in the current operational mode"
I got all the updates for the program and the burner, (Microboards, matshita cw-7503) I know my cd can be done, This program came in a package with the burner. But I dont know what parameters this thing is referring to for me to find out what I'm doing wrong. Heelp Heeelp Heelp!!! I gotta get this project done!!!

Most likely, your drive is unable to handle a cue sheet with that many marks in it. One of the first things that happens in DAO recording mode is sending of the entire cue sheet to the drive. The MMC standard (I assume your drive is MMC), certainly allows the send cue sheet command to accomidate sheets of 500+ entries, however, the standard says that if the drive is incapable of handling the entire cue sheet to returh CHECK CONDITION (error) and report an invalid field in command, which CDA could potentially be rewording for you.

So since there are no other reliable indexing cd burner programs for windows, and the matsushita tech support cant solve the problem, and of course these sonic foundry people wont ever e-mail me back, I'm screwed for life then, eh?

You are luckier than I am. No one will even reply to my post!

Try burning at a lower speed and see if that addresses the problem. I don't guarantee that it will work, but at least it's worth a shot. Some CD-R drives behave differently at different speeds. Let us know how it turns out.

Well, examining the output, I see that the command is a write at lba 208344 (46:17.69) for 26 sectors (most full audio sectors you can fit in 64k), and the sense key is in fact illegal request, which means that the drive thinks there's something wrong with the parameters. My guess is that the drive accepted the cue sheet, but only parsed the first parameters in it, and the drive thinks that that time (is it meaningful in your project?) is past the user data area indicated in what it thinks is the cue sheet.
