Many stereos and diskman type CD players now read CDRW disks. While I don't know any percentages, I will say that it is very easy to find them advertising this ability. Actually there is a simple reason. It is cheaper to produce a higher number of the same laser needed to read the CDRW disks then it would be to produce smaller numbers of two different laser diodes. As another note, to erase anything on a CDRW you must "reformat" the disk. You can not simply erase a single track and rewrite it. You must erase all or nothing. This being said, when using either CDR or CDRW for data you can "overwrite" the file. What really happens is another copy of the file is written while leaving the first in place. The pointers are then updated to show the new location. This is part of the multiwrite specification. ======= Kirk Wood Cpt.Kirk@1tree.net Nowlan's Theory: He who hesitates is not only lost, but several miles from the next freeway exit. _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup@braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup
