CD rewriters using RAW mode

[Donkey]

I'm in the market for a CD-RW. I have been looking at the Yamaha SCSI 8x4x24 or the older 6x4x16. Also the Ricoh SCSI 6x4x24 is one possibility. Does anyone have views.
I would also like a drive that can write in RAW mode as it makes it easier to backup all my Cd's http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif . Does anyone know if these drives are capable of that or is there one you could recommend at about the same price range.

I believe that the only writer that supports RAW is the HP. At least the HP9110i does.

See my post in this forum under RAW for more info!! Lots of good info there. Hope this helps!

The best burner to write RAW is the Mitsimi 4804 TE. I have one and with Clone CD you can copy nearly anything

yep i have the HP 9110i it is a very good unit. Did you know it has a feature called Disaster Recovery? This backs up your entire
hard drive to CD and gives you 2 floppys with
boot up and cd drivers,when you need it its
all automatic,just boot with the floppy and follow the instructions. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

Some HPs do some don't. I have the 8110i (I know it is junk) and an 8250i. The 8250 supports it while the 8110 does not. Here's a link to drives that are CD Clone compatible and thus are RAW compaitble.

Under hardware requirements, they have CD-RWs and CD-Rs that they know are RAW compaitble. Their site is down right now. I accessed it last night but can't get in now.
Good luck-
