WA Thanks thanks thanks!!!
I do believe you have answered my question, and I'm pretty darned happy about it too

The question was prompted by my 13 year old brother when he found out I had purchased a CD writer....I could hear his scream of joy 1200 kilometres away
I was aware that there was a chip needed in the PS1 to read the CD, but I wasn't sure if my softwre could actually copy it. Looks like I can
Cheers for that!!
