I have an IDE CD-RW drive (a Creative Labs drive capable of 4X write, 2X
rewrite, 24X read) installed, and I was wondering if it was possible to
use it as a true rewriter, like I would a Zip drive. That is, can I mount
it and dynamically modify its filesystem? I have heard reports of "No",
but I know it's possible to do it on Windows.
I have also heard that UDF is the more commonly used filesystem for such
tasks, and that the CD-RW drive must be in "Packet Writing" mode.
Anyone know more?
Thanks in advance.
