As of writing, neither RSJ CD-Writer nor CDRecord cd-writing utilities offer support for USB CD-(Re)Writers. Perhaps, hopefully, this will be provided in the future. However, it is possible to write and read to and from these devices by locking the drive, and copying files towards them.
You can format the media using the UDF device driver with the command: "format
x: /FS:UDF", where x: stands for the drive letter that has been assigned to
your USB CD-RW. The drivers are only available via IBM
Device Driver Pack OnLine, using an active valid SoftWare Choice or PassPort
Advantage subscription. When you've got access to the ecomstation.com's download
site, you can also download the drivers from there.

| Comments | Mike Maksimik told me this CDRW works finde under OS/2. The drive supports USB 2.0 at high speed (24x 10x 40x ) If connected to a USB 1.1 hub, it will operate slower ( 4x 4x 8x ).
Under OS/2 He just plugged it into his hub, refreshed removable media and accessed the reserved USB CDR/W drive letter icon, and He was able to access the drive.
He tested formatting a Rewritiable Disc using 'FORMAT J: /fs:UDF' and the format succeeded. He was able to write data to the drive but he hasnt tested and CDwriting tool for OS/2 yet. |
