Cd copier with no info online not working
Posted by Professional_Door238@reddit | vintagecomputing | View on Reddit | 8 comments
I got a older cd copier, no idea how it works n idk if you connect it to an external monitor or not bc i dont have one with those connectors but it seamed cool and i bought it. The bottom tray does nothing but open then when i close it it opens back up and wont stay closed. Also idk how to use the external control pad thing but it seems to work without the error sign popping up so any help or info or digital manuals are greatly appreciated❤️

Did you end up figuring it out or finding a manual? I actually have a few of these units and should be able to take some pics of the manual, if you're still looking.

You might need a terminator on the second SCSI port, most devices with two ports need this. Sometimes there’s a switch to do it internally, but I don’t see that here.

Scsi card ie adaptec 1540, scsi cable and scsi terminator block. Some dos device drivers and you should be able to 'talk' to it

There’s some information from the company in the Internet Archive’s “Wayback Machine” at https://archive.org/ if you go back prior to August 2000 when the company appears to have gone out of business. Unfortunately, from a brief look that I did, the PDF version of the manuals were not there (at the snapshot time I tried to look at). That doesn’t mean that nothing is there, just that maybe you will need to look harder than I did. Good luck!

It reads the data from an existing burned or pressed CD and then writes those data onto a suitable writeable CD.

The total absence of a video port suggests that you don't.
Pop in a blank, and a disc to be recorded onto, and then hit the mode button till you reach CP.
Is there a 'do' button?
It's perfectly happy as a standalone copier.

It's a SCSI box with two CD-drives. It's not a copier, there is no computer, just two drives.
You need a computer with a SCSI card to attach it.
