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.
