Introduction
The TEAC CD-RW drive can write to CD-R discs at a maximum of 12X speed, re-
write to CD-RW discs at 10X speed, and read CD-ROM discs at 32X speed. (It is also
capable of operating at slower speeds, if preferred.) CD-R discs enable you to create
audio or data discs for permanent archival storage. They cannot be overwritten. You
can overwrite CD-Rewritable (CD-RW) discs, typically up to 1,000 times.
The TEAC CD-RW drive is a SCSI device designed for use in IBM PC or compatible
computers that feature a SCSI adapter card. The drive features a 5.25-inch standard
chassis and a powered tray for convenient disc loading.
