Only if you want to use your CDR like a 'normal'/hard disk :)
http://www.mt-rainier.org/ for clarification ;)
Would this make it possible to use EasyWrite to write with a non-Mount Rainier type drive?Quote:

- installing the reader that is available on the disc,
- downloading and installing the reader from the website of the software vendor.
If you install this reader you are able to read Mount Rainier discs with any drive."
Honestly ... I dunno !
But lots of drives can use 'packet writing' which is similar, but you need to format disks first & then as they 'get full', with Mt Rainer you don't have to, which is what I suspect you'll have to do, if you use a non compliant writer with a mt rainer 'compliant' app :)
Am still using my old 8x4x32 drive. Got it just when "buffer underrun protection" came out. Didn't want to spend extra for that tech. The 8x4x32 drive is a coaster maker due to this. Don't want to repeat that.Quote:
