They use substantially different alloys. You may be able to write to the non-HS (4x) media at 4x, but the recording will be poor and reliability will be low. =======================
Do you suppose the burner makers are too stupid not to have considered the 'substantial different alloy'?
Do you suppose the 4x writing stragegy for low-speed cd-rw is the same as that for the high-speed cd-rw?

======================================================= Mike Richter's Cockamamie Mumbo Jumbo on UDF (inherent) =======================================================
This is Mikey's response to the question why Roxio's DirectCD causes Win2k system unstable: Is it Roxio? Or, is packet writing itself unstable under WIN 2000?
====================== From: Mike Richter Date: 6/27/01 Subject: What is Responsible for Packet Writing Instability?
There is an inherent problem in UDF, particularly with fixed-length packets
It is that the directory information for the disc is held and modified in RAM between loading the disc and ejecting it.
Anything which precludes a complete, valid package being written back risks the whole disc. ======================
In the case of the UDF as implemented by DirectCD, the directory is not held in ram until the disc is ejected -- supposedly the inherent problem of UDF:
I've watched the disc write lights on my Plextor drives when ejecting a DirectCD CD-RW disc, and the drive never does any writing at that time.
Once, in an attempt to prove this, I wrote a bunch of files to a DirectCD CD-RW disc. As soon as the write pulses ceased,
I pressed the computer's RESET button.
After the computer restarted, the CD-RW disc was fine, and all the files I had just written were fully accessible. ======================================= '

I don't believe this is true with the latest versions of DirectCD (I'm using 2.5d with Win98SE).
I've watched the disc write lights on my Plextor drives when ejecting a DirectCD CD-RW disc, and the drive never does any writing at that time.
Once, in an attempt to prove this, I wrote a bunch of files to a DirectCD CD-RW disc. As soon as the write pulses ceased,

However, if that's the case, then there's a different problem - scrubbing the directory area. I don't know if/how that's solved.
Unfortunately, I have no inside track on information from Adaptec, only what I glean from using the programs. If I get confirmation of your information (from them or by experimentation), I'll certainly change my answer. ======================
Note: DirectCD 2.5d was released in 7/99, and Mikey crapped about the "eject" in 8/99 and 9/99.
