Primera Composer (Pro) support

Recommended Posts

Hi Lightning,

 

Let me start by saying I've used this program for years. It might not be the most friendly thing for non-technical users, but as a power user who knows what I want and want it done right, your program is my go-to tool.

 

I've got a two-drive Primera Composer Pro robot, that I've retrofitted with a Firewire-SATA bridgeboard and a pair of Pioneer 216 drives. The only software I can find that can use this setup is the supplied PrimoDVD, which I don't like much.

 

The bridgeboard limits me to 4x operations if I don't want to underrun the buffer. I'd love to just connect to the drives via straight SATA, but then PrimoDVD refuses to work with the robot!

 

Even if I can only use one drive at a time, I'd love to be able to use this robot with Imgburn! Based on this thread here, http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=17844 I think your existing "Generic Serial Robot" code can probably do the trick, just tweaked to use the commandset found here : http://hyperdiscs.pbworks.com/w/page/19778464/Command%20Sets%20--%20Primera%20Composer%20or%20Conductor

 

Any chance? I'm more than willing to provide beta-testing if need be.

 

I should also mention that PrimoDVD relies on a set of DLLs that look similar to the PTRobot dll files for the Bravo units. My PrimoDVD directory has ROBO.dll, PxRoboDP.dll, PxRoboDPPRO.dll, PxRoboMAX.dll, PxRoboXLPRO.dll (That's for my ComposerPro), and PXSDKPLS.DLL. I haven't been able to find any information or a published API about these.
