Recommended Adapters
You must install a SCSI adapter card in the host computer to utilize the CD-RW
drive. For optimum performance, TEAC recommends a PCI bus master SCSI adapter
card (such as an Adaptec AHA2940 or equivalent). Please refer to the SCSI adapter
card documentation for installation instructions.
Recommended Software
Before you can record data onto CD-R or CD-RW discs using your TEAC CD-RW
drive, you must first install pre-mastering or packet-writing software onto your
computer’s hard disk. TEAC recommends the following applications for Windows
95/98/Me/2000-Professional and NT:
❑
Adaptec Easy CD Creator, Version 4.02e or higher:
A full-featured
premastering software application that enables you to create audio CDs and data
CDs.
❑
Adaptec DirectCD, Version 3.01e or higher:
A “drag & drop” software
application that allows you to read and write to your CD-RW as if it were a
standard floppy or removable hard drive. It also provides the tools necessary to
format the media.
For more information, refer to the documentation that accompanies the software.
Recommended Media
Use only 74 or 80-minute blank CD-R and CD-RW media from TEAC or the
following manufacturers.
For optimal performance, make sure the CD-R media is rated for 12X speed
recording. CD-RW media should be “high-speed” rated (usually 4X – 10X speed).
Note:
The above mentioned software packages are part of the Easy CD Creator
Deluxe Software Suite from Adaptec, Inc. Please ensure the appropriate version is
