On this page you can find some Links, that concern CD-Writers. If you notice, that a Link doesn't work or you have another Links, which I should add to this page, please send me an Email!

ASPI-Layer

You must have installed an "ASPI-Layer" (Advanced SCSI Programming Interface) so that Feurio!® works. The ASPI-Layer permits Feurio!® (and other programs) to access to SCSI-devices (and also IDE-Devices!) directly, so e.g. your CD-Writer, independendly of the vendor of the hostadapter.
The ASPI-Layer you can find either on the driver discs of the hostadapter or on the website of the vendor:

Adaptec®-Hostadapter:

Philips CDD 2600 / HP 6200 repairguide:
Unfortunable, the Philips CDD 2600 and the HP 6200 are a little bit "misconstructed". After using them for a longer time, you might get strange error reports. At http://www.geocities.com:80/SiliconValley/Bay/6893/english.htm (Menu: "CDD 2600", Entry: "Hardware repair") you will find an exact description of the problem and a repairguide.

Andy McFadden's CD-Recordable FAQ:
At: http://www.fadden.com/cdrfaq/ you can read a very detailed FAQ about CD-Recording.

Nero®:
Often I'am asked about a software, that can "overburn" also data CDs.
However, I don't suggest the overburning of data CDs in any way (the risk of losing the data is too high), but who wants to do that absolutely, can download a Demo-version of Nero at: http://www.ahead.de. With Nero data CDs can also be overburned!

BMDriver.com:
At http://www.bmdrivers.com you can download Busmaster-drivers for different motherboards. With a Busmaster-driver you can read data from or write data to IDE-devices almost without using the CPU - so it is STRONGLY recommended to install a Busmaster-driver!

BladeEncoder:
At http://home.swipnet.se/~w-82625/ you can download the BladeEncoder. The BladeEncoder is a free program library for creating mp3-files. The "dll-version" can be used by Feurio!®, so that e.g. audio can be read from a CD directly in the mp3-format.
