Welcome to the CeQuadrat PacketCD UDF Drive Letter Access Software! PacketCD v. 2.10.138 (c) Copyright 1996-1998 CeQuadrat GmbH This readme file contains the following information: What is PacketCD ? What is OSTA UDF ? Installation Supported Devices Troubleshooting Support What is PacketCD ? ================== PacketCD is the first software product realizing the latest version of the OSTA UDF standard (1.50) for file-systems on CD-Recordable media for Windows 95. This file-system was designed to be integrated seam- lessly into the operating system of your computer. After you have formatted an empty CD-R this disc becomes available as a Windows 95 volume and can be used almost like a harddisk or a floppy. If you want to use the disc on another computer you need to prepare the disc for use in normal CD-ROM drives. What is OSTA UDF ? ================== OSTA UDF stands for Optical Storage Technology Association Universal Disc Format. The OSTA is a group of hardware and software vendors (including CeQuadrat) who have adopted the ISO 13346 standard for DVD, CD-R and CD-RW applica- tions. The current version of the OSTA UDF standard is version 1.50 which is supported by this implementation of PacketCD. Installation ============ After you have inserted the PacketCD floppy into your floppy disk drive start 'Add/Remove Programs' from the Control Panel. Press the 'Install' button and follow the instructions on the screen. After the system has rebooted you can use your CD Recorder like any other drive in your system. To remove PacketCD from your system select 'CeQuadrat PacketCD' from the list of installed programs and click 'Add/Remove'. Although PacketCD works with 'Auto Insert Notification' switched off, you will get better usability if this option is on. Supported Devices ================= CeQuadrat wants to support as many CD-R devices as possible. In the future we plan to support all devices which can support the so called 'Incremental Packet Writing' mode. If you encounter problems with a drive listed below please make sure you are using the latest firmware available for this drive as 'IPW' is a relatively new technology and only the latest firmware guarantees success in using PacketCD with your Recorder.

If you are not sure wether your recorder is an OEM version of the above mentioned please contact support. Troubleshooting =============== It was not possible for us to check with all possible configurations of Windows 95 systems. Therefore, if you encounter problems with your PC that aroused after PacketCD has been installed on you computer please try to send us a detailed description of all hardware and software installed on your system. Especially system extensions like system monitors or additional caches are potential candidates for problems. Directly after a writing session the disc remains locked for a few seconds (typically 15). After this time the disc is 'clean' and can be removed from the drive either by using 'eject' from the drives context menu or simply by pressing the drive's eject button.
