I use an old (1994 vintage) Pinnacle Micro CDR drive, 2x read 2x
record. I feed it with a AV rated SCSI drive. The AV drive doesn't do
a thermal recalibration during read-write sessions. Standard drives do
recal periodically and if this happens during a CD burn...instant
coaster. Most drives seem to be able to read my disks, only some 36 and
40x types that are not multi-read spit them out. I use the Pinnacle
Micro RCD-1000 cdr drive, Adaptec EasyCD Creator Pro ver 3.5, a Connor
7200rpm AV drive, an Adaptec 2940 pci scsi host adaptor in a Pentium Pro
200 system, 128mb ram, Windows 95 (OEM A) version. I usually log off
the network before burning a disc. I use the cheap green-gold disks that
Frys sells in a 5 pack for $4.95. I always build a ISO image and write
in one session, finallizing the disk.

My goal is to archive my old DOS & CP/M (In
DOS readable format) for future
use..
I have wasted numerous CD-R's trying to write files to it..
I can get the cd drive to burn the CD & read from it, however it will not read
on another standard CD drive.
Thanks everyone for the feedback, here is some more information:
I have 2 cdroms installed in my WIndows 98 computer.
An Acer CRW 6206A 2X write, 6X read (The one in question)
and a Goldstar 8X standard CDROM, Both IDE..
I have tried several times to use the existing software, the problem seems in
the final phase of the burn, in which the software finalizes the CD-R disk
to be readable in any standard drive. Twice now it stopped short of finishing
and give the error message, "Error, this disk will not be readable in a standard
CD drive"
It burns the CD-R just fine but seems not to be able to convert it to a
usable format for standard CDdrives.
The software even asks the question "Do you want this disk to be able to be read
in standard CDROM drives" ? It does the final phase and then errors out.. Still
works in the CDRW drive but not in a normal drive..
Also it does direct CDROM duplication and the same error happens, it duplicate the
CDROM disk but in the final phase it stops short of finishing it..
