Kenwood detecting CD in drive

[Guest]

Three of my friends and I have a Kenwood TrueX 72X CD-ROM and all three take a very long time to detect CD's. I even have to reset the computer every now and then to get it to detect my Diablo II. Other than their CD detection speed, all of our CD-ROM's are very fast.

Is this just a quality of the TrueX or maybe a setting probolem ?

Well on average the KW72x takes a little bit longer then most cd roms to start up but not that long maybe about 5-7 seconds. The only thing is you might need to upgrade your firmware. The latest version out is 226g and I have been looking for it. The firmware upgrade solves alot of problems including (specifically) the reading of Diablo 2 cd's. www.kenwoodtech.com is kenwoods site for the 72x but it is down and I can't get a hold of anyone at kenwood so good luck at getting it.

Kenwood answered my email and said their web site will be back up on 01/12/01.

I already have a new firmware version from a couple of months ago (not sure what version) and the newest version of my bois. I will find out what virsion of firmware I have and try the newest one.

Newer CDROMS suck because they take so long to spin up. My best luck for games has been a TEAC 32X.
