CD-ROM/DVD-ROM for 1:1 SD2 CD copying?

[Namoh]

Hello all.

I've decided to buy a new CD-rewriter and a new CD-ROM/DVD-ROM. What's the best option for 1 on 1 copying via CloneCD? I've read that most copies of SD2 protected CD's only can be read in the CD-(re)writer it was copied with!! Is this true or are there CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drives that also can read SD2 copies? I also read that when "they" make SD2 copies they use the CD-(re)writer as writer AND AS READER (no on-the-fly copying)!! Is this true or can you make on-the-fly copies of SD2 CD's. I've made a decision about which CD-rewriter I'm gone buy. Can you guys help me whith information of CD-ROM/DVD-ROM players that can read SD2 copies, can be used as reader for copying SD2 CD's, has no region protection and can read all the existing CD/DVD-formats (CD-ROM Mode 1 Form 1, CD-ROM Mode 1 Form 2, CD-ROM Mode 2 Form 2, CD-ROM XA Form 1, CD-ROM XA Form 2, Multisession CD, CD-tect, subchannel data from data and audio CD's, etc). I hope there's a fast DVD-ROM player which fulfilles my whishes.

I know that I have a lot of questions but I hope that you all can help me.

Thanks from Namoh.

You should try the Toshiba DVD i have (SD-M1502), it read's safedisk 2 and al the options you mentioned. The only drawback is the volume of th edevice, it makes a lot of noise if you read a cd-rom on full speed.
The other drawback is that there is no crack yet to make it region free.

Plextor rules all the way.

Plextor 24x reads and writes SD2 perfectly.

WOODY van het cdrforum: "The new IDE champions are the Liteon 24102B, and the 12102B,(12/10/40)and the new Plextor 2410A.They can read and write all protections.They do correct Efm encoding(as reported by Master).NOTE:Only these models of Liteon do correct efm encoding.The other Liteons DO NOT write SD2 properly!!!

Note:The Plextor 2410A is released.It is reported to read and write all protections,and do correct Efm encoding,**confirmed** "
