650Mb disks. And I have tested it to work on 9.0 with supermount disabled,
and a $25.95(US) CDRW drive which is rated 4x4x24 Even with that, the drive
barfs on CDRW media, even for blanking, with 9.0
DO NOT USE CDRW media for this either--most of it is 650 and there are
MANY supposed CDRW drives which will not work with CDRW media of the more
modern flavor or insist on trying to treat all the CDRW media as 700Mb
capacity.

I have been trying to backup a directory full of mp3 files to a CD-RW.
They just REFUSE to write/recover properly. I can backup the rest of the system with no problem, but not those mp3's.
IT may be yet another case of CD-RW problems.(?).
I may try burning them to a CD-R ... But I've got a pile of coasters now...
I will probably just invest in a spindle of 100 of them, get it over with.
Also, I tried writing the latest beta iso to a CD-RW. But nooo.. The CD-RW drive is new, as are the disks. They burn ok, but if I move the CD to the other (older) drive, and try to boot the box from it.. No go. I can't even mount them on that drive.
If I burn the ISOs to a CD-R, all works like it should.
I bought the CD-RW's thinking "Great for temp storage". But no.. I've had far too many problems with them.
I wish I had my DAT Drive with me. Can't beat tape for backups. :)
Sadly, it's in my server in Seattle, and I'm "STILL" stuck in Florida...
sigh...
