DirectCD(R) (Windows(R)95/NT Version)
This software employs the world's standard file system for packet writing(*1) and is compatible with the CD-RW's Random Access Writing(*4) based on the new UDF(*2) 1.5 standard. It makes writing, rewriting and erasing data toCDs as easy as to floppy disks. You can quickly write data, simply by dropping a file onto the CD-R/RW iconon the Windows(R) screen. You don,t even have to start up a writer application. In addition, the buffer under-run(*3) problem often occurring with conventional writer applications can be avoided to offer more datawriting stability. You save a lot of disc space and time as well. The CD-R even offers sequential writing, whichenables writing in single file units. If needed, the ISO9660 compatible format,the conventional file system for CD-ROM drives,can be also used.

You can erase all data on discs prior to writing new data.

Glossary
*1 Packet Writing
Packet writing allows writing data in units of files, as on floppy disks or hard disks. This lets you save timeand disc capacity while writing. There are also no limits to how many times you can additionally write, allowing you to write data to the disc's full capacity.
*2 UDF (Universal Disk Format)
The world's standard file system specifically developed for packet writing. This system is expected to becomethe mainstream file system for future CD recording. This format was originally employed for the DVD-ROMfile format, and later adapted for CDs. Two versions are available - UDF version 1.02 with sequential writingand UDF version 1.5 for random access writing.
*3 Buffer Under-run
An error that occurs when a drive buffer (an area of main memory set aside for temporary storage) becomesempty due to insufficient data transfer during data recording on discs.
*4 Random Access Writing
Random Access Writing allows you to write and rewrite data at any point on the discs. When you use aCD-RW discs, you first format the disc as with a floppy disk or MO, then break it down to packets of 64KBunits. Each packet has an Orange Book Standard-regulated 14KB overhead part. After formatting, the spaceavailable for use decreases to 490MB. If needed, a defact management procedure during formatting or writing will allow rewriting beyond the set limit of 1,000 times. Practically, there is no limit to writing space.
