Folks:
I did the silly thing and snapped on a cheap DC off eBay before
reading the FAQ on the subject of CDR booting and find myself in
possesion of a December, 2000 system which indeed will not boot
any CDR I toss at it... I've even tried a bunch of the recipes I
found on the 'net which all claim to make bootable CDRs for the
newer non-MIL-compliant systems and have produced a few coasters
as a result -- not one of the recipes produced a CDR that my DC
would boot.
Anyway, I thought I'd pass this on to the list in case the next
guy reads the archives before getting a DC; I also thought I'd
see if anyone has had success on a newer (heh!) DC system and
can share their experience if it was succesful...
I've set reply-to back to myself since I'm not on the list, but
I'll summarize if I learn anything interesting...
