>>First, You did said that indirectly when you compare zip/Jaz to CDR/CDRW in www3.techstocks.com >> most people see an advantage to the ease-of-use, speed and yes, reliability of Zip and Jaz. >> Second you said use DOS copy command with CDRW is "Never" possible in www3.techstocks.com >> You mean I can just use the DOS copy command? Wow! When did that happen? Oh, right, now I remember. Never. << << Andy - I did not mean to imply that Zip and Jaz were more reliable than CD-R and CD-RW with that first post. I only meant that people see advantages to using them. And I was talking about CD-R, not CD-RW, in the second post. I was responding to RM's contention that you can use CD-R "just like a floppy" up to the point where the capacity limit is reached. >>Why don't you simply admit that you didn't do your homework.<< No problem. In fact, I didn't do any homework. I relied on what I know from experience. I'll be glad to admit that I do not have experience with a wide range of CD-R and CD-RW devices. But I do know that while many of them support packet writing, many of them do not. - Allen
