I do. No one knew what EAC was back then outside of jam band traders - found out about it via DAT-Heads of course. Finding someone that knew about and used EAC back then was a godsend.

Man, so true. I was getting invloved in Pink Floyd trading and I have memories of trying to figure out EAC for the first time, figuring out drive offsets and everything associated with that. My first drive purchase was a Plextor 10x12x32A burner for $225 or something like that. There seemed to to be daily posts on how to better the extraction and burning process. There were still buffer issues with burning- if you didn't shut down everything but the burning program you were in danger of getting digital skips. Even DAO burning was a big topic back then.
This was all less than 10 years ago. Amazing.
