Re: Reading a burned 700MB capacity CD R on a PowerBook 3400

[Richard Smiley]

FWIW, I use 700 MB / 80 min Memorex 52X media burned at 48X in my  
iomega USB 2 burner. My 1400cs 166, 12X CD ROM reads them fine.

you've tried.

Best bet is to burn 3400-bound disks to tested-for-3400 650MB media.

An alternative of course would be to use a modern USB or FW external
drive through a cardbus adapter.

I don'r have a 3400, but I do have a 12x PowerBook 1400 CD-Rom drive
that can read 700MB TDK disks.

Reading a burned 700MB capacity CD R on a PowerBook 3400

[Matthew S. Carpenter]

Hi,

I have some stuff I burned to 650MB CD Rs and those disks read fine in 
the 6x drive I got with my PB3400


However I have not been able to use 700MB capacity CD R's to make disks 
for use in the 3400's CD ROM drive. I've tried Fujifilm, Verbatim, and TDK.


I'm aware that there are also 12x and 20x CD ROM drives that work in the 
3400's expantion bay and was wondering: are either the 12x or 20x drives 
capable of reading files burned to 700MB capacity CD Rs?  I'm guessing 
that the 6x one just can't handle it and wondered if maybe the 12x or 
20x used a little newer hardware that might be more compatible?


-Matt
