Memorex

[spectre]

Does anyone know what the guts are in the Memorex 12x10x32. I can get one really cheap, but I want to copy software 1 to 1 with clone CD.

It's probably really cheap because it is really useless.

Traditionally Memorex have taken their drives from Aopen, who in turn OEM Ricoh CD writers. I cannot be sure, but it is likely the Memorex is a modified Ricoh drive of some description.

There is really no such thing as a cheap and nasty CD Writer. None of the unknown brands of writers are really made by the Taiwanese company on the box, for example Aopen are Ricoh, Artec and Acer are Philips, etc. The only cheap Taiwanese company producing CDR drives at present I believe are Lite-On, and they're decent Clone-compatible drives anyway!

I am not aware of any 12-speed writers which are not Clone compatible in most respects. All the ones I've seen support DAO-RAW, and while a few might only support 16-byte subchannels I think if you are just backing up PC disks you should be OK.

I have a memorex twelvemaxx1032 cd-rewriter. It is actually compatible with clonecd even if its not in the list. However it often gives .cda files at the end of the writing. I send a mail to elaboratebytes and they told me to get the newest drivers and to disable the burnproof. Since there aren't any new drivers, i'm gonna try< to disable burnproof.
