I have managed to acquire a few roland format CDs which I want to get the samples off and transfer them to ZIPs. Easy eh? Well not really cos I aint got a SCSI cd drive, and can't seem to find anyone with one they want to lend me. I'm not going to buy one cos its not worth it as this probably the only time I will ever need to use it. Any ideas? ONe that comes to mind is to find some sort of utility that can read the samples off the CD (Ive got an IDE drive in my PC) and write them to disk images a la sdisk. Anything like that exist? Perhaps its possible to do something like this using dd (ive got linux)? Bit of a long shot i know. Oh yeah, while Im writing to the group... anyone know anything about the doing SCSI sample transfers to the S760 from sound forge? Ive heard support was being dropped, which means I probably won't be buying that SCSI card.

Ben, For FY99 (ending 9/99), Tandy Corporation (Radio Shack's holding company) had gross sales of about $4.7 billion. Gross profit was $2.1 billion, with net income (after taxes) of about $61 million.

Judging from what they charged me to replace the power supply in my editing VCR, they'd only have to have five or six customers a year to make that much. - Sent by the sgroup mailing list on lists.uunet.ca For subscription information, send mail to majordomo@lists.uunet.ca and see http://www.generalconcepts.com/sgroup/ for more information.

Your assumptions are an insult to me. And your self righteousness is an insult to yourself. It's really not a very nice personality trait, you know. Even if they were pirated, which they're not, you still have no right to spout off at me in a public forum. And it makes you look stupid.
