Operating System (OS)

Mac OS 8.1/8.5/8.6/9/9.1 (Except for Classic API with Mac OS X)

CD Writing Software

The CRW2200SX drive requires a CD writing software to write onto a CD-R/RW disc. When you use the CD writing software, make sure that it supports the CRW2200SX 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.
