You are correct. I just use CDRW as a big floppy disk, with DirectCD as
editing software in past. It is quite convenient only with drag and drop
opertaion. The CDRW can read both in M$Win98 and Linux (of course the
kernel has to be recompiled). But I can't write CDRW in UDF format on Linux
for such a reason I keep both OS. (Write is already labelled dangerous on
Linux). At the present moment I can't do anything on Linux.
What I am looking for is a solution for cross reading of the CDRW between
DirectCD and Nero. Maybe I have to looking for whether there are postings
on Adaptec and Nero websites
Anyhow I am very appreciated for your time and effort in replying my
posting. Thanks
B.R.
