Hi

The RW disc use a tellurium surface which reflects light much less than 
"silver" CDs or the gold etc CD-Rs, and hence can't be read on ordinary 
CD-ROM readers.

Some CD-ROM readers have AGC Automatic Gain Control which enables them to 
read any kind of CD, including RW ones. 

Any idea which (besides the most expensive Plexor models)?

Thanks

JR
