USB CD/DVD reader/writer for RiscOS 5.2

Hello

I would like to connect to my Raspberry Pi and BeagleBoard-Xm an USB extrenal CD/DVD drive.
Can I expect any “current” brand to work flawlessly?

Thanks

François

I use a Samsung slimline external drive with no problems on my xM, no experience of RPi though.

To my surprise the La Cie lightdrive DVD from my Mac worked fine with the BB -xM.

We are just about to test and hopefully add to the list of products on our website two external DVDRW drives one with a tray and another slotted. They both have an option to power them from a standard 5V DC2.1mm PSU if you don’t want to power from a USB port.

It would be especially useful if someone could find such a device that might be useable with CDVDBurn to write DVDs and CDROMs/AudioCDs!

Worth my mentioning it, anyway. :-)

With CDVDBurn (V.2.09s beta) -

Samsung buspowered slimline drive:
(TSSTcorpCDDVDWSE-208DB) I can write CD/CD-RW (Data and Audio) but it refuse to write DVD’s

LG buspowered slimline drive:
(HL-DT-STDVDRAM GP40NB40) no CD or CD-RW but it does DVD – DVD-RW
So I can do both, I only need to change the drive…..
On both devices reading is ok.

PandaBoard with 5.21 ROM
I have not edited the settings file (don’t know what to edit :) )

(TSSTcorpCDDVDWSE-208DB) I can write CD/CD-RW (Data and Audio) but it refuse to write DVD’s

Disk At Once? Or just Track At Once?

Jim

I have a externel LG GP08LU10 DVDWriter that burn all, a internal LG GP40N burn no Audio CD and a slimline internal Sony Optiarc (ARMini(X)) and a full size Optiarc (PandaXL) both burn all.
The slimlines are connected via a USBtoSlimline adapter (Conrad).

@jim

Only Track at Once – so useless for some of my audio projects (when USB audio recording is available)
Got a lot of MiniDisc’s with live concerts….)

Can do it on my Mac but want to do it under RISCOS (just for fun)
I have few spare drives and try next week again.

I didn’t expect the CD drive refused to wite DOA after testing a new audio CD (track at once was ticked in CDVDBurn by default)

Hi

So, if I summarize all the experiences on this thread, the compability is globally good to very good… but you have to rely a little bit on luck if you go for a totally new/untested model…

WHat about this one?
SAMSUNG SE-218?

Cheers
