That's it folks, got down to bottom of my spindle, started having issues on problematic standalones, some slight issues with good standalones,
seems to just a few disks, scan below burned at 8x with nec 3550.




made in japan from now on

I notice that you don't use 1y5, is there a reason? I will get 3550 today and hope you can shed some lights on this Nec?

Thanks

[Chewy]

I have been getting good burns with the nec and the 1Y4
change log for 1Y5 doesn't apply to my drive use

Fixed RICOH JPNR02 @12x
Added RITEK G03 @4x
Added OPTODISCR08 +R @12x
Firmware now packaged with Binflash 1.24

here's a better burn with nec 3520, but way below my standard

Thanks, do you use rcp1 or original 1Y4 ?

[Chewy]

always rcp1(I want bitsetting)

here's a near perfect burn till end of disk with nec 3550 @8X
into the trash it goes

[Chewy]

another at same speed on nec3550
this is what I expect from verbatim

[Chewy]

Well I just about finished running these bad disks down, the bad part of this was I had a little extra time and decided I would upgrade some of my older burns with these disks, I have scanned over 20 burns and so far found 5
of 50QS or less quality score, for my standard that's a failure rate of 25%.

Now I will have to test every burn just to be safe. Your posts show that at 8X that there is a question of quality control especially those huge spikes. Japan here I come after these other 99 are gone!

Thanks Chewy for the heads up!

I took a couple, hope I did it right. One was overburned at 12x.
