MT_MEDIA -> RE: Pioneer a05 Media compatibility list (12/10/2002 7:59:46 PM)

Costas, hehe.. yes. Im about 101% sure what you say will come true. No doubt at all.
Wanton, the drives used in the verification processes has been different, since the whole test was done by our customers not by us. I never received full details from all testers about their equipment, except for the obvious 105 unit. However, we did ask that they used also the 105 unit to do the verify process. However, i know that people also have tested using Pioneer 116 and 177 units and Liteon DVD Rom. The USB problem is 100% correct as you say, we have had quite a few bad expriences with external USB 2.0 devices , CDRW units and DVD-RW units which writes inocrrect data since the VIA USB bus doesnt have a real error control function, so any supplied data will be written to the media and neither burner nor burning program will indicate anything is wrong, this is a serious issue if you ask me.
But im not sure wether its related to how the VIA USB 1.1/2.0 drivers intersects or works with the USB bus activity, or if this is a hw related problem. This has only affected VIA controllers though as far as im told.
The verify process was made with a SFV checker utility to compare with the stored SFV file on the media. Naturally, you can use the same method as Costas mentioned, it will serve the purpose equally well.
Sincerely // Mike
