Copying Multisession Discs

[kjzone]

Brian......

After thought.....regarding Firmware Updates...

In a software Update, Adaptac Enabled a copy protection scheme that would keep you from copying discs before the update.

This was pointed out by one of the forum members and buried in the license text.

So he was warning us NOT TO UPGRADE THE SOFTWARE if you still want to be able to copy discs, with that particular software.

THE QUESTION ARISES......REGARDING FIRMWARE UPGRADES AND THE INTRODUCTION OF COPY PROTECTION.

APPARENTLY IT HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE ON A PIONEER DVD UNIT, BUT THE HACKERS ALREADY HAVE DEFEATED IT.

SO, I GUESS BEFORE WE DO A FIRMWARE UPGRADE, WE BETTER HAVE A BACK UP OF THE CURRENT VERSION, JUST IN CASE.

JUST RAN INTO THIS ARTICLE REGARDING PROPOSED COPY PROTECTION FOR HARD DRIVES.

DON'T GET RID OF THAT OLD SCSI YAMAHA, ONLY SOME OF THE OLDER SCSI PLEXTOR'S CAN COPY SOUND CHOICE "MEDIA CLOQ" COPY PROTECTION, EXTRACTING THE TRACKS OUT AS SECTORS USING GOLDHENHAWK.

WOULD BE INTERESTING IF YOU GET A MEDIA CLOQ DISC TO SEE IF THE YAMAHA SCSI CAN READ IT.
