Buffer underrun errors which occur when data transfer falls behind the writing
operation has been inevitable for CD-R/RW drives. Just Link, which we at Ricoh
developed on our own, is a new technology that predicts possible occurrences of
buffer underrun errors in advance and automatically avoids them. The MP5163A is
the industry's first-ever drive that features Just Link. With this technology, the
MP5163A ensures stable writing operation even under circumstances where buffer
underrun errors tend to occur with conventional drives.
