Damn! Why is it so difficult for CDROM manufacturers to make their drives 100% clonecd compatible?

Other than Plextor, Teac and Toshiba none of the other makers seem to bother about this........isn't this a potential revenue chance?....I cant seem to find any other reader other than the above three........is it costly to make a drive completely clonecd compatible(subchannels data and audio I mean)? What is wrong with these guys??

So you can market the drive to a small fraction of the retail base and have the safedisk and other copy protection people come ram you in the @ss?
 
Yeah it'd be nice. But enough of the market doesn't know what CloneCD is that manufacturers don't need to worry about it.
 
those companies are not the only ones making compatible drives. even the giant HP does. if you've got a database of compatibles, what's the worry? 😉
 
actually, it's because cloneCD has gone beyond the regular CD standards to do the reading/writing. Just like copy protection didn't go by the CD standards as well. (not just the subchannels).

 
I have a yamaha 4416s and a samsung reader and a phillips dvd one..
i guess i should get the software and test them.. btw what software are you using?
 
All it would take is a firmware update. When I first got my cdrw it wasn't clonecd compatible. But a month later a new firmware was released for it that gave it clonecd compatibility.
