It was designed to work with all SCSI-2 CD-ROMs, but due to divergences from the norm most CD-ROMs need special handling of several commands. Following drives have been tested and work. Audio via SCSI and setting the volume work as shown in the table. NEC drives can't position within the a track (fast forward/backward) but this will be fixed in the next release of YACDP. `via SCSI' | set works | volume -----------+-------- Apple CD300 yes | yes Apple CD300e plus yes | no Apple PowerCD no | yes Hitachi CDR3750 no | no Nec CD-ROM's no | no Philips CM215 no | yes Pioneer DRM-604x no | yes Sanyo CRD-400I no | no Texel DM-XX24 no | yes Toshiba XM-3301BME yes | yes Toshiba XM-3401TA yes | yes Toshiba XM-4101TA yes | yes

Shareware o `via SCSI' playback is now stereo o saveing stereo IFF's is now also possible o added AREXX-port and menu for AREXX macros o added some things well known from CD players (shuffle/program mode, repeat track, repeat all) o added balance slider o volume slider now has his maximum at top o localized for 2.1 and up (currently German) o new look menus and standard wait pointer for 3.0 and up o beautified buttons o documentation now in AmigaGuide® o better support for NEC CD-ROM's o when using `via SCSI' the scsi_Length was set too large fixed (memory was trashed with some scsi devices) o fixed problem with some older versions of gvpscsi.device that returned IOERR_BADLENGTH when using odd buffer length o didn't support multi-menu-select fixed o the AUTOSTART feature didn't work in conjunction with CX_POPUP=NO o window looked ugly for titlefonts with a height greater 8 o songnaming has changed (old still accepted) and the songfiles moved into one big hashfile o changes in the songfile are now displayed immediate (file notification) o the programm TestCDROM is now integrated into YACDP (tooltype TESTCDROM) o the tooltype NOVIASCSI has vanished, use VIASCSIMODE=0 instead o some new tooltypes and new keyboard shortcuts (check them!)
