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,

You may well be correct; I have not been using fixed-length
packets for some months.

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.

When you have just written the data, the directory is in RAM

I don't believe this is true with the latest versions of
