Kenwood 72x True-X.... Does it support Sub-Channel Data?

[TSDible]

As the topic says...

I'm having a bit of problems with mine... it reads everything great... CD-R's/RW's and now does audio extraction at over 40x. However, Clone CD says that it does not support the reading of Sub Channel data which as I understand is needed to make "backup" copies of some of my favorite software.

Is this right? It seems that this drive really should support it. Would I be better off dumping this drive and getting a slower one for backups, or should I just use my Iomega 12/10/32 when it comes?

Thanks All...

It does not read sub.

Just use the writer to pirate er "backup" your games.

That sucks...

Is this something that could possible be fixed in the future by firmware, or is it related to hardware limitations?

Do some archive searches about Kenwood's history in the computer market Some hate me for this, some thank me and some regret not listening, where is PeterMichael?

hmmmm.... after reading a bit through the forums, and after pulling my hair out trying to get some tech support...

the web site has been down for a week...
the 800 number goes to a voice mailbox...

I think I will be returning this drive and picking up a decent CD-Rom or DVD reader. Anybody know if any of the boxed drives at Best Buy are any good? That is where I got this one (gift cards), and I can't think of anything else I need there.

Thanks all for your input.
