I am putting together a proposal for a DOS based CD-ROM recording system. 
The main purpose of this system would be to archive data. Not doing 
high production. Anticipate cutting only a few CD's/month.

I have a colleague that makes CD's on the MAC. He had a few problems 
getting his pinnacle system to work. Turned out the disk with the master data 
did thermal recalibration which fouled up the timing. These are the types of 
issues I'm hoping someone can clue me into on the DOS side.

What I'm considering is the DOS based Pinnacle system and a 1GB hard drive on 
a 486 workstation. 

If anyone has any experience with some of the low end DOS CD makers 
particularly specific hardware combinations that work (or don't) I'm all ears.


P.S. tried to get the FAQ listing from rtfm.mit.edu but the system would not 
let me log in anonymously - Anybody else have this problem? Is this address 
correct?

Thanks,
