1.2 About InCD Reader
With InCD Reader, all discs that were created with InCD can be read, even on computers
that do not have InCD installed. InCD Reader also assumes the function of the so-called
Remapper. The Remapper is necessary if you wish to read MRW-Disks (Mt. - Rainer-Disks)
in hard drives that do not support the MRW disc format.
In addition, InCD Reader provides read access to all discs that were created with SecurDisc
– even on drives without SecurDisc support.
