Introduction
Features of the CRW6416S Drive
6X Speed Writing to CD-R, 4X Speed Writing to CD-RW and 16X
Speed Reading
The CRW6416S drive can write to CD-R at 6X, 4X or 1X speed and
write/overwrite to CD-RW at 4X or 2X speed. It can also read from CD-R and
CD-ROM media at up to 16X speed.
Supports a Wide Range of CD Formats
The CRW6416S drive can read from and write to CD-ROM in standard ISO9660
format and to audio CD in CD-DA format. Use the drive for a wide variety of
purposes, such as backing up data, writing your own audio CDs and creating
multimedia titles (using CD Extra mode). Just choose the writing/reading
format that suits your needs. For more details, refer to page 4.
SCSI-2 (Fast SCSI) Compatible
The CRW6416S is compatible with SCSI-2 (Fast SCSI), the second-generation
SCSI protocol for interconnecting computers and peripherals.
Windows 95/98 Plug and Play Compatible
Under Windows 95 or Windows 98, the SCSI ID number of the CRW6416S can
be set automatically. If there is a conflict between the manually-assigned SCSI
ID of the CRW6416S drive and the ID of another SCSI device on the same chain,
the CRW6416S is automatically assigned a vacant SCSI ID instead.
Supports all Four CD Writing Modes
These modes are Disc-at-Once (the disc is written in a single pass without
pausing), Track-at-Once (data can be written incrementally to disc one track at a
time), Session-at-Once (each session is written in a single pass without pausing),
and Packet Writing (data can be written to disc in small increments just like
with a floppy or hard disk). For more details, refer to page 36.
