RE: [OT] CD-RW for random access ?

		Hi Jamin,

 I guess I made a mistake about DirectCD. I use a Philips CD writer for half a 
year now, so it seems I forgot the details of the Adaptec software. Sorry for 
that. So, DirectCD writes both packet CD's and multisession ISO disks.

 So I think here it is you again that is mistaken ;). Packet writing (UDF) is 
used for CD-RW's, and you do not close these CD's. It's the multisession CD-
R's that need to be closed, but I think -sen is referring to the UDF disks 
when he is referring to "big floppy disk".
 A little remark to the help file: Of course you can write ISO images to CD-
RW, only Adaptec does not support it in its software.
