Rip w/ Lombard 400mhz
Rip w/ Lombard 400mhz
While KJams/Universal Binary version is in development, I'd like to begin ripping my library using an older MAC. For ripping purposes, will the current version of KJams work on a G3 Lombard 400mhz w/ 10.3+ OS? Regrds, BobFox
compatability
that entirely depends on the drive.
try to rip and see if you get a message "you need a new drive".
if you don't, then you're good to go!

not compatible with notebooks
sad but true, you'll need an external drive. check the FAQ for my recommendation.
nope :(
Sorry, Matshita is known to not support CD+G, it's not a firmware issue, it's a hardware issue, the hardware is simply not capable.
well, clearly, if the drive *does* work for kJams, that means you will be able to put in a CD+G disc, yes, and press play and see graphics, no need to rip or get any meta info.If the drive works for kJams...
I have acquired a Mac Lombard PB that is pre-FireWire. It does have SCSI and USB ports.
I'm looking at an external Iomega CD-RW 52x24x52x DVD-ROM 16x USB, model 32886 to use with the Lombard laptop for ripping. My plan is to use this configuration to rip a fairly large CD+G collection onto Maxtor 250gb FireWire/USB external drives. When kJams Universal Binary version becomes available, I hope to simply plug the Maxtor drives into the FireWire port on my new Mac WorkBook Pro and go to work.
Does anyone have any idea if the Iomega model 32886, CD-RW 52x24x52x DVD-ROM 16x USB will work for ripping with kJams?

compatible drives
You should check here first: What drives are supported?
The only Iomega mentioned are:
Iomega ZipCD 6x4x24x4* / ZipCD 6x4x24x4* / ZIPCD 1536INT* / ZIPCD 3840INT* / CDRW 9600INT*
So it looks like the answer may be no, but please let me know and I'll update the list.
By the way, you will hate the ripping speed of any USB 1.0 drive.

Rip & Rip Speed
Right now, any rip speed would be a lot faster than what I'm getting done presently.
Thanks for the extra info. Is the Iomega 32886 newer than the drive list? Or has it already been tried?
How do you determine if a drive can be used with cd+g? Is it all trial and error? Or is there something specific that one should look for in a new drive that might indicate compatibility with cd+g?

info
I have no idea about any particular drive, except the ones in the list. I update the list as people tell me what is compatible. Sometimes the drive manufacturer will say right out that they support CD+G format (eg: Plextor), sometimes they don't but it is compatible anyway, and with those it is trial and error.
plextor
An excellent idea! Plextor + FireWire will definitely make you happy! (that's what I use)
