Hard drive space
Writing data on a CD-R/RW disc requires 50 MB to 100 MB of free space as a
working area on the hard drive. When writing data on a CD-R/RW disc after
creating an image file, there must be enough free space on the hard drive to store
the image file in addition to the working area (a total of up to 900 MB).
However, hard drive space for image files is not required when directly writing
onto a CD-R/RW disc from a hard drive or CD-ROM using the CRW3200SX
drive (on-the-fly writing).
Image file
You can collect the data files to be written on a CD-R/RW disc into a single image file.
The image file is useful for writing the same data onto multiple discs. For details, refer
to the documentation that comes with the CD writing software.
A spare PCI expansion slot for a SCSI card (if one hasnt been installed or built-
in)
SCSI card

computer without a SCSI connector.
Adaptecs AHA-2940 series SCSI cards (for PCI slot) are recommended.
