I have a CD-R, and it is wonderful, one of my favorite peripherals. But it's no substitute for a plain, old, drive-letter disk. To use the CD-R drive, you have to install either CD-R burner software or Direct CD, and lots of drivers. It really plays havoc with the system configuration. If you will read my original post, you will recall that a "zero-installation" device was one of the requirements: no changes to config.sys, autoexec.bat or the Windows Registry, and no applications software (often, the disk is full, and the backup is being done as part of a drive upgrade). So much for CD-R.
