An i.Link-Capable CD-RW Drive Appears at PC Expo 99 nikkeibp.asiabiztech.com September 8, 1999 (TOKYO) -- At World PC Expo 99, Sony Corp. and Melco Inc. each showcased a prototype of an i.Link (IEEE1394)-capable CD-RW drive. Sony's CD-RW drive writes at a maximum 4x speed on both CD-R and CD-RW, and reads at maximum 24x speed on CD-ROM/CD-R and at 8x on CD-RW. The drive is only for the company's VAIO notebook line with Windows 98 Second Edition. Its release date and price are not decided. Melco's CD-RW drive writes at a maximum 4x on CD-R and 2x on CD-RW. It reads at a maximum 24x on CD-ROM, and a maximum 16x on both CD-R and CD-RW. The drive, capable of data transfer at 400M/200M/100Mbps, is hot-plug enabled so it can be unplugged with power kept on. At Melco's booth, visitors will find its i.Link-capable magneto-optical (MO) disk drive and hard disk drive. The MO drive, with a storage capacity of 640MB, is slated for sale in mid October and the hard disk drive in mid September. Melco says its prototype products are all in black, but they will be in VAIO colors when they hit shop shelves.
