On my all-SCSI desktop system I've recently started getting cd burn
failures with RSJ, when duplicating CDs with the CopyWizard. This
usually happens at the 80 % or 90 % complete mark, and the error is
something to the effect that the cd reader could not read the source
disk fast enough. This strikes me as a totally bogus error, because
it never used to happen. I have tried dropping the burn rate from 8x
down to 4x, for some CDs, in the hope that this would require less of
the reader. (No problem with the burner, as best I can see.) This
*may* allow the duplication to finish successfully in some cases;
often it does not.

My question: should I be thinking that the cd reader or its laser is
starting to wear out ? Or is this more likely to be a cable or
controller issue ? I am reasonably certain that the speed setting in
the 2940U that controls the two cd drives is correct, and in any case
it has not been changed in a very long time -- but I will take another
look at it. I suppose this could be back to cable or connector issues
again . . . .
