This slim combination drive boasts read speeds of 8x DVD, 24x CD and write speeds of 24x CD-R, 10x CD-RW making it one of the most ideal drives for mobile multimedia and storage use. I guess it's possible it's not support to be a cd rw, but that is not likely? Maybe it's crippled in firmware, because I do not run winblows on the portable? Dunno... I'm going to test writing to a one-shot disk now... James -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
