SUMMARY how to make copies of CDs ?

Here the way I succeded duplicating CDs on my T64 v5.0

dd if=/dev/rdisk/cdrom0c bs=2048 | cdrecord -v -dummy -speed=4 -fs=24m -dev=2,2,0 -

or, placing data on disk to speedup I/O

        dd if=/dev/rdisk/cdrom0c bs=2048 of=uno.raw
        cdrecord -v -dummy -speed=4 -fs=24m -dev=2,2,0 uno.raw
        rm uno.raw

---- I PLACED the -dummy switch for simulating the CD recording process.
---- AFTER a positive result (no underrun errors) you have to issue
---- again the cdrecord command without -dummy to actually write the CD

In the above examples /dev/rdisk/cdrom0c is the input device (as
/dev/rrz5c on previous T64 & Dunix versions) and the output device
-dev=2,2,0 is indicated by the bus/target/lun triplet

For whom is interested I remember that the cdrecord software properly
installs on T64 and it is available at
http://www.fokus.gmd.de/research/cc/glone/employees/joerg.schilling/private/cdrecord.html

With cdrecord another software is given: mkisofs
Using it you can make an ISO-9660 image of your Unix or Advanced File
System which can then be written onto CD using cdrecord.

        mkisofs -R -l -o due.raw /usr/users/lele
        cdrecord -v -dummy -dev=2,2,0 due.raw
        rm due.raw

Always with cdrecord is the software cdda2wav which can be used to
copy AUDIO CD in the following way:

ask info about the AUDIO cd:
        cdda2wav -J -D 2,2,0

copy 11 tracks from the input AUDIO CD on files named audio_??.raw
        cdda2wav -D 2,2,0 -t 1+11 -B -I generic_scsi -S 0 -O raw

replace the original CD with a blank one ant write it
        cdrecord -dummy -dev=2,2,0 -audio -pad -speed=4 audio_??.raw
        

I use a SCSI PLEXTOR PX-R412C CD writer and a PLASMON one

--- and to another person of the mailing list which gave the right
    suggestion, but whom mail has been accidentaly deleted so I don't
    remember his name.


Thanks to all the mailing list (we are the best, ar'nt we ?)
