Introduction

The Memorex ThirtyTwoMAXX Drive is a new generation Half Height 5.25" Built-in CD-Recordable/ReWritable drive with the popular (Enhanced) IDE interface.

The drive is in fact a multi-function device, since it can be used as:

• fast CD-ROM reader (up to 40x speed)

• 32x speed CD-Recorder, e.g. to record your own CD-ROM's or Audio-CD's

• 12x speed CD-ReWritable device to use as your personal storage medium, by using Incremental Packet Writing

The Memorex ThirtyTwoMAXX Drive is the ideal tool for publishing large amounts of data in compact form on CD. The Incremental Packet Writing function will make this drive attractive to the general desktop PC-user for personal data storage.

CD-Recordable discs can be recorded at 8x – 32x speed, and in all standard formats, e.g. CD-Audio, CD-ROM (XA), CD-I and Video-CD among others. Since these discs are recorded in accordance with the Orange Book (part II) specification, these discs can be played back on all compatible CD-players.

CD-ReWritable is a feature which allows re-use of previously written (special CD-ReWritable) discs, by rewriting portions or the complete disc in accordance with the Orange Book (part III) specification.

Features of the Memorex ThirtyTwoMAXX drive:

• Multi-function device (CD-ROM reader, CD-Recorder and CD-ReWritable drive)

• Just-BURN Technology

• Supports Incremental Packet Writing for data storage applications and "drag & drop" File System support through the CD-UDF standard (endorsed by Optical Storage Technology Association or OSTA)

• Supports standardized Multi Media Commandset (MMC) as standardized by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)

• Plug & Play read compatibility under Windows 98, ME, 2000, XP and NT 4.0

• Interfaces directly to low cost standardized (Enhanced) IDE connector on PC motherboard

Just-BURN Technology

A major cause of CD recording failures and wasted CD media is a problem known as Buffer Underrun. This essentially means that the flow of data from the computer to the CD drive was not fast enough to keep up with the speed required by the writing process. The result is that the CD drive stops recording and the CD media is un-useable.

Just-BURN Technology eliminates this problem by recognizing when the flow of data reduces to an unacceptable level and essentially pausing the recording process. When the data flow is again at an acceptable level, the drive will start recording again as if there had been no interruption.

Unpacking

If the drive package shows evidence of rough handling or damage and the drive does not function properly on initial startup, return the drive and damaged package to your supplier and request a replacement.
