These are my futile attempts to burn patched/homebrew ISOs to CD-R to play on my Turbo Duo. Pressed discs read perfectly fine. I should open an Etsy that sells CD-R coasters.

Graphs made using Nero DiscSpeed (Disc Quality tab) sorted from best to worst burns.

Media

Info from Nero DiscSpeed (Disc Info tab).

  • CMC Pro (Taiyo Yuden TCDR-ZZ-SB):

    • Min speed 16x
    • Capacity 700MB
    • Supported Write Speeds: 16x, 24x, 32x, 40x, 48x
  • Maxell Gold
    • Disc ID: 97m31s01f
    • Manufacturer: Ritek Co.
    • Capacity: 650MB / 74 min
    • Supported Write Speeds: 16x (disc packaging says 1x-8x; likely no Write Strategy available for my drives)
  • Verbatim

Disc Quality Scan using Optiarc

Verdict: This drive resulted in many more errors than the iHAS even when using the same disc, so it likely has a dying laser.

Lessons Learned

  • Check what the minimum and maximum speed that the media (disc) reports, and burn at the minimum the media (NOT DRIVE) supports.
  • Cross-check Disc Quality scans with multiple drives to make sure the drive isn't the issue. The optiarc here appears to be bad.
