Service on the unit
There is no prescribed service for the unit. However, to ensure optimum performance, the unit should operate in as clean an environment as possible where contaminants do not enter the unit. Should the unit require cleaning, do NOT attempt to open the drive, but contact your supplier.
Microsoft Operating Systems and Optical support
Microsoft have confirmed that their NT operating system versions 3.51 and 4.0 do not currently FULLY support any WORM or Rewritable Optical media (512, 1024, 2048 or 4096 bytes per sector) or drives under Fat or NTFS File Systems.
NT, using FAT or NTFS, only supports Optical if the drive and media act as a Magnetic Hard Drive. (Type 0 Device)
Windows NT will support both WORM and Rewritable Optical media when used with another File System (such as Plasmon Drive Manager for NT)
FAT and NTFS with full Optical support are being looked into for a future release of NT from Microsoft.
Microsoft have committed that Windows 95 will read and write Rewritable Optical media only when it has been formatted with third party software. WORM media is not supported and requires third party software.
UDF 1.02 file formats can be read by Windows 2000 without any additional driver software, which gives guarantees of future read compatibility.
Customers using NT with Plasmon Multitasking Manager have no need for any action.
For details of Optical support in future products from Microsoft, please contact them direct.
