Introduction

Features of the CRW6416SX Drive

6X Speed Writing to CD-R, 4X Speed Writing to CD-RW and 16X

Speed Reading

The CRW6416SX 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 CRW6416SX 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 6.

SCSI-2 (Fast SCSI) Compatible

The CRW6416SX 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 CRW6416SX

can be set automatically.  If there is a conflict between the manually-assigned

SCSI ID of the CRW6416SX drive and the ID of another SCSI device on the same

chain, the CRW6416SX 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, as used for audio CDs and in premastering), 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 27.
