I just purchased a TEAC 516EB burner which came w/ Nero 5.5. I updated Nero to the latest version and installed TEAC's latest firmware for the drive. The TEAC, as well as my harddrive and other CD-ROM drive have DMA enabled in Win 98.
To test it out, I wanted to copy my No One Lives Forever CD using only the burner (doing both reading and writing). The TEAC will start reading the CD, but it does it EXTREMELY slow to the point that after 5 minutes it supposedly has only copied 1%! You actually never hear it copying the image to the harddrive. When I try it on my Asus 40x reader, it reads the disk and copies the image perfectly fine. I've doubled checked my settings in Nero to ensure that the TEAC is set up to read at 40x (maximum). Any ideas?
Here's my system:
Abit VT6X4 Motherboard (Apollo Pro 133A chipset)
PIII-700
128MB RAM
15GB 7200RPM Maxtor (on primary IDE channel by itself)
Asus 40x CD reader & TEAC 16x10x40 both on secondary IDE channel
