Whoa!!! Copied OK from a copy of a commercial CD!?!  Could you repeat this
test with another CD?  I'd be VERY interested in hearing about your
results!

SCMS _should_ take effect on the second generation, but it dosn't appear to
be working on your machine.  Anyone else have a CDR870?  Can you replicate
these results?

If you get the same results, the CDR870 might just be the cheapest pro
(non-SCMS) digital recorder in the known universe (BONUS!)

Let me know if you discover anything else!  You may have just saved
yourself (and a lot of the rest of us) 200 bones!  (Won't tell you what MY
girlfried would assume I was talking about if I told her I wanted to spend
$200 on a scum stripper)
