101833 - This purchase is for a Sony Spressa RW CD ROM. ref DRT 1 2450
101834 -
101835 - We also received 10 CD disks. ref DRT 1 4004
101836 -
101837 - This makes a total of 12 CD disks, since the CD ROM drive comes with
101838 - with two CDs.  One is RW and the other is merely recordable.

101842 - CD Right - CD Creation Software; Ordered Spressa for Backups
101843 -
101844 - This is a CD program that is needed to transfer data to a CD disk
101845 - using the RW CD ROM drive.  It is installed below. ref SDS 0 0706
101846 -
101847 - So, we cannot use the DOS copy and xcopy commands to transfer data to
101848 - a CD disk.  Once data is copied to the CD disk, however, we can use
101849 - DOS copy and other commands to copy data from the CD disk to the hard
101850 - drive.
101851 -
101852 -      [On 990309 received abcd.exe which formats RW CD ROM disks so
101853 -      they can be used with DOS commands. ref SDS 8 6399]
101854 -
101855 - I called Morris about this.  He has a RW CD ROM drive and confirmed we
101856 - cannot use regular DOS commnads to transfer data on CD disks.
101857 -
101858 - Sony's documentation says they have an another program, Spressa, we
101859 - need to use the Sony RW CD ROM drive for conventional backups, which
101860 - was reported by the CompUSA salesman on 981226. ref SDS 5 0001
101861 -
101862 - These programs are free, but we have to send a form, asking for them.
101863 -
101864 - I did this today.

102202 - Installation in CPU11
102203 -
102204 - We seem to have two options...
102205 -
102206 -    1.  Install as an additional drive.
102207 -
102208 -    2.  Replace existing drive.
102209 -
102210 - Chris at Pctown suggested installing as an additional drive in the
102211 - telcoen on 981226. ref SDS 5 4480
102212 -
102213 - The problem with this is that it would shift the drive letters so
102214 - there is no longer alignment with the drives on other machines.  This
102215 - can cause confusion.  We would need a separate set of transfer
102216 - utilities.  Basically would do following...
102217 -
102218 -                     c: l
102219 -                     d: m

102237 - RW CD ROM Media Cannot be Read by Older CD ROM Drives
102238 -
102239 - On page of the manual for the Spressa CD Rewriteable drive, it says
102240 - that older CD ROM drives cannot read rewriteable CD ROM media disks.
102241 -
102242 - The Sony Supressa RW CD ROM drive can, however, write to read once CD
102243 - ROM media disks that can be read by older CD ROM drives.
102244 -
102245 -
102246 -
102247 -  ..
102248 - Installed both CD ROM Drives
102249 -
102250 - Decided to install both drives.
102251 -
102252 -    1.  Original CD ROM drive is a 40x.
102253 -
102254 -        I removed it and put the new one at the top of the CPU, where
102255 -        the original CD ROM drive had been installed.
102256 -
102257 -        This seemed like the easiest way to try the initial
102258 -        installation.
102259 -
102260 -        It was difficult to remove the audio cable from the original CD
102261 -        ROM drive.  There is a plastic lever that needs to be
102262 -        depressed, but even when this was done it was too difficult to
102263 -        remove the cable from the slot on the drive pin connector.
102264 -
102265 -        I removed the cable from Soundblaster sound card.  It also has
102266 -        a plastic lever that has to be pressed to remove the connector
102267 -        from the pins.  It did not work very well.  After much effort,
102268 -        I was finally able to get it disconnected.
102269 -
102270 -        This unit was reinstalled as drive k:  Made it the slave.
102271 -
102272 -    2.  New Sony RW CD ROM drive was installed as the master drive
102273 -        using the original cable connector.
102274 -
102275 - Seem to have the CD ROM drive and the software installed.
102276 -
102277 -    [On 981229 transferred data for Kwan Henmi. ref SDS 6 0000]
102278 - ..
102279 - I installed CD Right, received above, ref SDS 0 3690, in drive:
102280 -
102281 -                      i: 00 04
102282 -
102283 -         I copied the setup software to i: 00 04 setup
102284 -
102285 -    ...because the software program for the regular CD ROM drive is
102286 -    installed in drive:
102287 -
102288 -                      i: 00 03
102289 -
102290 -    ...per record on 981114. ref SDS 2 7399
102291 -
102292 - We still need the Spressa program to use this for backup.
