Notes

•For the latest information about approved IEEE1394 interface cards, check the YAMAHA CD-R/RW Drive web site.

•Some IEEE1394 interface cards may not work properly with your computer. Be sure to check for compatibility not only with your computer, but also with the CRW2200IX drive before purchasing a new IEEE1394 interface card.

•Even if you already have an IEEE1394 interface card installed and working properly in your computer, it may not be compatible with the CRW2200IX drive. Refer to the requirements listed on the previous page and to your interface card documentation to check for compatibility.

Macintosh Users

Computer

•Macintosh computer with a built-in FireWire port

•CPU: PowerPC G3, 300 MHz or faster.

•RAM: 64 MB or more.

Operating System

Mac OS 8.6, 9, 9.1 (Classic API with Mac OS X is not supported.)

Note

FireWire software version 2.2.2 or later is recommended for the CRW2200IX drive to work properly. The latest software is available from the Apple support web site.

CD-ROM Drive

You may need another CD-ROM drive for any CD-related operations (playback of an audio CD, installation from CD-ROM, etc.) until you verify that the CRW2200IX drive is successfully installed. Also you may need another CD-ROM drive if you are planning to copy a CD-ROM directly to a CD-R/RW disc on the CRW2200IX drive.

Note

The CRW2200IX drive cannot be used to install an operating system or to boot your computer from a CD-ROM containing an operating system.

CD Writing Software

The CRW2200IX drive requires a CD writing software to write onto a CD-R/RW disc. Make sure your CD writing software supports the CRW2200IX drive.

Note

For details about how to install and use the software, refer to the documentation that came with it.

Hard Drive Space

When writing to a CD-R/RW disc, you will need a working area (50 to 100 MB of free space) on the hard drive. If you want to create an image file containing all the data to be written to the CD-R/RW disc, in addition to the working area, you will need as much hard drive space as that data (up to 900 MB in total). However, this additional hard drive space for the image file is not needed when you are writing directly from a hard drive or CD-ROM drive, etc. (on-the-fly writing).

About disk image files

You can collect data files into a single disk image file for a CD-R/RW disc. Also, note that an image file is useful when writing multiple discs with the same content. For further details, refer to the documentation that came with your CD writing software.
