Acer CRW-1610A
 

I note the acer crw- 1610a burner writes in RAW-DAO 94 mode and reads in RAW mode, this meaning that it cannot read sub-channel data or audio. What determines this limitation,is it software, hardware or firmware upgrading that is required? What options are available?

Well not reading subchannell is hardware as far as i know. Check out clonecd website.

i amplanning on getting this drive because i all ready have a sony which does subchannel data beautifully.,

Also the RAW+94 is imperfect if you want 1:1 copies. This is because the other 2 bytes (bringing it to 96) is calculated and written by the burner.

Charlie, although it does raw 94 it can still do 1:1 SD2 hey?
