I've used Nero to make backup copies of my "DEC" CDRoms and it has worked
extremely well. I am using a QUE 24x10x40 ATAPI drive on a PIII clone PC
running Windows XP pro and I haven't made a coaster yet. Nero has the
reputation of not being easy to use, but making a copy of one of these
CDRom's couldn't be much easier. My Nero version is 5.5.9.17.

For other jobs, especially dealing with music, I prefer Easy CD Creator,
which I also have.

If you want some assistance in burning a limited number of these CD's, I am
available.

Regards,
Stuart Johnson
