System Requirements
The CRX1611 can be used in systems with the following capabilities. � CPU: Pentium 266 MHz or higher For stable writing performance at high speeds, the CPU speed should be considerably higher than the above minimum requirement. For writing at 16� speed, a Pentium II/400 MHz or higher is recommended. � PC/AT-compatible PC � Windows® 95, Windows® 98, Windows® 2000 or Windows® Me operating system � At least 32 MB RAM (64 MB or higher recommended) � At least 1 GB available hard disk space � One available EIDE(ATAPI) interface connection (primary slave, or secondary master or slave) with ultra-DMA capability � One empty 5-inch half-height drive bay � One available internal +12 V/+5 V power connector � In addition to the above requirements, the requirements of the writing software to be used must also be met.
CAUTION � The above system configuration is given as a minimum requirement for a system on which basic CD-R/RW writing performance can be obtained. In actual use, the requirements for the writing software also have to be taken into consideration. (Normally, these requirements will be higher than the above specifications.) � The drive cannot be assured to operate properly if connected to an ATAPI interface adapter card (we cannot guarantee compatibility or offer user support). � Writing speed may automatically be adjusted depending on the disc specified speed or disc conditions such as weight imbalance and eccentricity. � 1� and 2� writing speed and discs are not supported.
Maximum data transfer rate depends on the capabilities of the host PC
