I've got my dvd-rom as secondary master and my benq 1640 set as secondary slave. I've had them both ways and nothing changed,performance wise.

I'm not sure what you mean by jumper.
Here are the steps.
1)There are these little things in the back of the drives, sometimes are colored to help you other times they are just black, they are rectangle in shape and have a small hole to plug into the back. I'd say they are about 1/4 a centimeter in length. unplug that and put it into appropriate alot.
2)Make sure you have the right part of the IDE cable (flat wires) plugged into your burner. It should be labeled right on teh flat thing.
I had this exact prob when I came here.

That is correct.
dvd burner --> set to Master
dvd rom drive --> set to Slave

Get the LiteOn SOHW-1693S, best burner out there for me, i have one and no errors ever, quiet, fast, and not picky at all, even though i only use RITEK(RiData and few Dynex). No probs with burnt DVD's or CD's, play in my DVD player and PS2 better than fine. Also has booksetting option too, comes with it. Very reliable. It also burns both types of DVD DL, yours only burns one.
How I make extra money:(for games/clothes/cable etc)
V7 PS2 DMS4 PRO flashed w/ ToxicBIOS w/ brand new laser, a 400c, the best PS2 laser out there & V7 PS2 w/ Swapmagic 3.6+

@ mort
my bad, i didn't read the other thread completely~ lol~
but, yes...how r u doing good buddy, ole' PAL? when it comes to booktyping utilities, i bow down to YOUR experience and knowledge in this field...it WAS you that introduced me to EEPROM back in the days remember? and i am STILL grateful for that thank you~ :)
well, it SHOULD work for him, well, in theory, at least it does for ME~ haha
have a good one my friend, the EEPROM settings work a charm on MY setups at home, whether it be decrypter or these other utilities made by the manufacturers...i've had very good success with them~

kiv,
I like how you wrote PAL in blue so I'll do it too. :-) Thanks for the kind words. How are the gas prices on the west shore? Did you see the chargers beat up on my chiefs today? :( That's ok, well get even on the raiders next week hopefully. :)

Gas about the same here. I have Randy Moss on my fantasy team and everytime I play him he sucks. Only a lousy 2 points today. He's on the bench from now on. Just watch, he'll get 3 touchdowns against the chiefs next week and I'll have him benched. *_* Ok back on topic.

As far as the LiteOn/BenQ thing ...
Sony USED to rebadge LiteOn drives but the latest and by far the greatest Sony drive is a rebadged BenQ DW1640
Also .. Plextor, a well respected player in the DVD writer game, rebadges a DW1640 also ...

Hey gang !
I am planning to get a BENQ DW 1640 From Newegg ! But am unsure what the best price is ? It seems a little high now About $49.99 or so what did the few of you that bought Benq DW 1640's pay when you bought them and what are your experiences with them? From what I have read about the Benq drives in general here at afterdawn.com it seems that overall the impression is good! I am buying it to replace my Nec 2500A - nothing wrong with it for an 8 X drive but cannot booktype with it and unfortunately when I bought it I overpaid for it and got stuck with the biege/off white version & my computer is Silver & Black (Emachines) so really would prefer a Black one . Also what are your opinions on the BENQ'S solidburn technology does it really help alot or is it mainly just a gimmick? Well sorry to monoplize you time gentleman & or ladies too ! Equal time for all I say ! I defer to your greater knolwedge & experience and await your replies ! Peace Happy HOLIDAYS & HAPPY BURNING !

I paid $38 including shipping on mine in a weekend special.Just bare drive only.Didn't even have the original box!
Works perfect. Dowload the latest update/q-suite/and away you go.
The 1620s came with beige and black bezels with the drive. The 1640 doesn't have that option. Silver/black/and beige are available. I have an outside flipdown cover on my tower so color didn't matter.
Should be able to get for $42-$44 including fed ex.
Edit: Superb scans on Yuden000-T02/MCC-004. The faster 8x and 12x burns scan way better than the 2.4x and 4x!
These booktyped backups will play in everything my 1620s did.
