:h2 res=2900.General setup


On this page you can select your writer using the drop down listbox. If the list is empty press the 
scan button to fill it with the devices on your SCSI bus, Atapi devices are routed to SCSI so they 
will also shown as available Device.

:note. The scanning only works if you provide the path to CDRecord/2 on the appropriate 'Helpers' page. Make sure 
to close the notebook after entering this path and reopen it so the new path is read. 

:p.
You may adapt the settings for the write speed and the FIFO. The FIFO is a memory buffer used by
CDRecord/2 and cdrdao/2 to store some data for the CDR to make sure no buffer underruns occur
during writing. Choose a reasonable value for your system. It's no good idea to select a high value
which causes swapping. Memory areas swapped out to disk are rather useless for caching. OS/2
has a built in limit for this memory area of 64MB. Don't use this upper limit because it
will cause some negative effects for other processes.

:h3 res=2901.Start hidden
:p.
If checked the window of any helper process which is started in the background is hidden. You can always
make it visible using the window list to read the helper messages. The messages are recorded in the 
write logs in the Audio/Data-CD-Creator installation directory so you may read them later. Uncheck the
button to start the helper programs visible.

:h3 res=2902.Close window on exit
:p.
If checked the window of a helper program closes after termination of the process. The messages are
recorded in the write logs in the Audio/Data-CD-Creator installation directory.

:h3 res=2903.Always create shadows
:p.
Check this to create a shadow when dropping an object on a CD-creator folder. Otherwise the
standard operation for a folder will be performed which is usually a move operation.
