PC2001 System Design & MMC-2 Optical Storage Requirement
Hi everyone,
I am not sure how to verify if a CDROM drive is MMC-2 compliant, meaning how can I check if the current drive is accepting MultiMedia Command Set 2's commands ? (Any avail commercial tools out there ?)
Is there any sticker or logo that will show on those certified drives ?
Btw, who certifies them ? How would it impact with or without this MMC-2 Command sets support ?
PC2001 System Design does not give enough details as to MMC-2 .. can anyone provide some insights on this MMC-2 Spec ?
Thanks, appreciate so much for your info sharing :)

Thx genguy .. I believe MMC doesn't apply only to SCSI devices, right .. IDE devices do have this MMC support as well ... wonder what extra command sets does MMC & MMC-2 provide over one without it ?
Didn't see much vendors advertise MMC-2 in their product, is it widely promoted & supported by exisiting applications ?
Thx for further info... :)

I suppose it's possible to do some sort of software validation of MMC2 support, it wouldn't surprise me if there was such a utility around somewhere.....
