Hey Yorke.

I have the same Toshiba drive as you, and I'm experiencing the same slow Safedisc readings in Alcohol. In CloneCD the drive is blazingly fast with safedisc, so I guess it must be a software related problem. In this case with Alcohol. Hope they'll make Alcohol somewhat faster regarding safedisc reading along the way. For the time being I can live with it. But only because it apparently beats the latest safedisc 2.8+ protections.
