- Informations from INQUIRY command:
- Manufacturer: TSSTcorp, Product: CD/DVDW SH-S182M, Version: SB06
- Synchronous data transfer: Not supported
- Explanation:
- The INQUIRY command will give fundamental information on a device.
- First it determines the names of the manufacturer and the product and the product version number (in most cases the version of the
- firmware).
- It also determines some infomation on the abilities of the device; the most interesting being whether the device
- supports"synchronous data transfer". This transfer mode allows a faster transfer of the data through the SCSI-bus. This is also
- necessary when using "slow" CD-Roms, because the bus will be burdened less.
- Reading device capabilities: OK
- Maximum speed: 4234 kByte / second (24.0 times)
- Cache size: 2048 kByte
- Read CD-RW: Yes
- Read Bar code: No
- Read UPC code: Yes
- Read ISRC code: Yes
- Return C2 error pointers: Yes
- Read R-W subcodes: Yes
- R-W subcode de-interleaved: No
- Read CD-DA: Yes
- Read CD-DA correctly: Yes
- Explanation:
- All "modern" CD-Roms support a additional command, which can be used by the computer, to determine the capabilities of the CD-Rom.
- The device supports the command. Feurio! has decoded the most interesting details and output them.
- It should be pointed out that these are statements by the manufacturer! If a CD-Rom reports that it supports some functions, this
- doesn't mean that these functions are implemented correctly.
- Maximum speed:
- This is the maximum speed, with which the CD-Rom can read audio data.
- (This has nothing to do with the transfer rate on the SCSI- or IDE-bus.)
- Cache size:
- The size of the cache memory of the device.
- (Feurio! determines the real cache size that can be used by audio data later; in fact there are devices that cannot cache audio
- data!)
- Read CD-RW:
- Here it tells you whether your device can read rewritable media.
- Read Bar-code:
- Reports whether your device can read the bar-code which is printed on most CDs/CDRs.
- Read UPC-code:
- Report whether the device can read the UPC-code (Universal Product Code) of the CD.
- Read ISRC-code:
- Reports whether the device can read the ISRC-code (International Standard Recording Code) of the tracks.
- Return C2 error pointers:
- A CD has several methods for error detection and correction.
- In general, a CD-Rom corrects errors automatically (if possible).
- There is also a mode, in which the CD-Rom returns, if (and where) there were correctable errors. So it is possible for example
- to determine, how "good" a CD still is. Unfortunately this mode works only with data CDs!
- Read R-W-subcodes:
- Besides the normal audio data, on an audio CD there is some additional data in so-called "Subchannels" on the CD. The
- individual channels are named with letters.
- The P- and Q-channels contain e.g. the time-code and the index data.
- The channels R and W are still not normed, they can be used e.g. for writing the artist and the title of the track to the CD.
- This parameter reports, if your device can read the R- and W-channels.
- R-W-subcode de-interleaved:
- Reports, if the device can read the R-W-channels just in raw format ("No") or in a processed format ("Yes").
- Read CD-DA:
- "Yes" -> The device claims that it can read audio data.
- Read CD-DA correctly:
- "Yes" -> The device claims that it can read audio data correctly (i.e. without jitter errors).

- +++++++++++++++++++++++++
- ++ Cache test
- +++++++++++++++++++++++++
- Feurio! will now try to determine the size of the cache memory usable for audio data and the max. transfer rate.
- To do so, Feurio! will read a certain number of sectors repeatedly and measure the transfer rate.
- First 1 sector will be read repeatedly, then 2 sectors, and so on.
- Normally the transfer rate will increase, because the more sectors are read, the fewer search operations will be needed.
- Number of sectors: 1 (=2 kByte) -> 0.061 MBytes / second
- Number of sectors: 2 (=4 kByte) -> 0.127 MBytes / second
- Number of sectors: 3 (=7 kByte) -> 0.187 MBytes / second
- Number of sectors: 4 (=9 kByte) -> 0.186 MBytes / second
- Number of sectors: 5 (=11 kByte) -> 0.212 MBytes / second
- Number of sectors: 6 (=14 kByte) -> 0.254 MBytes / second
- Number of sectors: 7 (=16 kByte) -> 0.298 MBytes / second
- Number of sectors: 8 (=18 kByte) -> 0.338 MBytes / second
- Number of sectors: 9 (=21 kByte) -> 0.383 MBytes / second

- Number of sectors: 103 (=242 kByte) -> 1.009 MBytes / second
- Number of sectors: 154 (=362 kByte) -> 1.092 MBytes / second

- -------------------------------
- Result:
- Maximum transfer rate: 1309 kBytes/Second
- Cache size for audio data: 0 kByte
- It seems that your device isn't able to cache audio data!
