Yamaha CRW3200SX manual For Macintosh, Computer Macintosh

For Macintosh

Computer (Macintosh)

•CPU: PowerPC G3, 300 MHz or faster

•RAM: 32 MB (64 MB or more is recommended)

•CD-ROM drive

Note

The CRW3200SX drive cannot be used to boot the computer or to set up an operating system.

•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 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 file is not required when directly writing onto a CD-R/RW disc from 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 hasn’t been installed or built-in)

•SCSI card

SCSI is a standard to connect a computer and peripheral devices.

An optional SCSI card is required to connect the CRW3200SX drive for the computer without a SCSI connector.

Adaptec’s PowerDomain 2930 SCSI cards (for PCI slot) are recommended. For the latest information about SCSI cards supporting the CRW3200SX drive, refer to the following websites.
