INTRODUCTION
CDRW 8x4x32 is a new generation Half Height 5.25" Built-in CD-
Recordable/ReWritable drive with the popular (Enhanced) IDE
interface.
The drive is in fact a multi-function device, since it can be used as:
• fast CD-ROM reader (max 32x)
• 8x speed CD-Recorder, e.g. to record your own
CD-ROM's or Audio-CD's
• 4x speed CD-ReWritable device to use as your
personal storage medium, by using Incremental
Packet Writing
The CDRW 8x4x32 is the ideal tool for publishing large amounts of
data in compact form on CD. The Incremental Packet Writing
function will make this drive attractive to the general desktop PC-
user for personal data storage.
CD-Recordable discs can be recorded at 8x speed, and in all
standard formats, e.g. CD-Audio, CD-ROM (XA), CD-i and Video-
CD among others.
Since these discs are recorded in accordance with the Orange Book
(part II) specification, these discs can be played back on all
compatible CD-players.
CD-ReWritable is a feature which allows re-use of previously
written discs by rewriting portions or the complete disc in
accordance with the Orange Book (partIII) specification. These
discs can be recorded at quadruple speed in all standard formats.
