Hello everyone I'm a computer technician at a high school, and we have some older CD ROM's which are not able to read the newer 700MB burned CD's, but will read the older 650MB ones with no problem. The trouble is most if not all manufacturers no longer make the 650MB type. Does anyone know of a manufacturer which still makes the 650MB type? Has anyone else encountered this problem, and found a solution for it? The CD ROM's are Diamond Data 8X. It just occured to me that maybe the difference between the 'audio' CD's and the 'data' ones, could be that the audio ones are the older 650MB type, so that older audio CD ROM's can read them. Does anyone know if I'm right? As far as I can see, data is just data, and it shouldn't matter to the CD whether the data is musical data or not, so I can't see what other difference there could be between the audio and data types. Alternatively, is there some nice person (in Australia) who has a few dozen blank 650MB CD's, that they would be willing to swap for the same number of 700MB ones? Any write speed of at least 2x will be fine. Please email me at ajclark@NOSPAM.senet.com.au (without the nospam) if you have any ideas / suggestions, as I rarely check this group. Anthony
