I think it's the software - at least I _seem_ to recall someone saying
they'd made a burn using that unit. Then again I could be confusing those
that were successful with those that have been asking.

Yecch. Sounds like they skimped on the format.

IIRC, these files contain the short-long filename mapping info. The
fact that they're not there would tend to indicate that the software
you're using is seriously busted.

Well, try doing some serious thrashing on the Sun while you're cutting the CD
and see if the buffer in the Yamaha runs out; I seem to remember it's only
about 500K...
