Hey everyone, for all those who have a creative 6x4x25 CDR/W drive and
can't use Clone CD because it doesn't support RAW DAO, you're in luck!
 The Creative drive IS a rebranded Ricoh 7060, they are physically
identical.  As you probably know, Ricoh has released updates for their
branded drives which fix problems and the latest update, ver 1.8
enables RAW-DAO.  I tried using the Ricoh Rflash.exe program to flash
my creative drive but it didn't work.  I downloaded the Dos flash
utility atammp3.exe and used it to flash successfully!  Here's what
you do.  Download atammp3.exe and the Ver 1.80 firmware.  Extract them
into the same directory.  Boot into Dos safemode and run atammp3 using
the /T switch.  It will unlock the program so that you can flash a
non-ricoh drive.  Flash it, and reboot!  Yay!  Now CloneCD works.

You can get the atammp3 program from:
http://www.cdmediaworld.com/cgi-bin/dlcmw.cgi?files/ricoh/atammp3.exe

The ricoh firmware you can find on the net.  If you can, email me at
re*nli@yifan.net and I'll email it to you.  Take out the asterick in
my email though.
