    I wonder if it will be Safedisc 2 compatible? Only time will tell :8

    I'm more interested to hear about whether it will allow it to read RAW96. That is probably the only reason why I wouldn't buy a 1610 right now. I think most people have avoided it for that reason. No CloneCD, No Sale.

    Hypnosis4U2NVIm wondering how this recorder has PoweRec when it didnt have it when I first bought it.. New firmware is always nice.. I wonder if it is possible to add things like BurnProof 2 and PoweRec2 w/ Z-CLV technology with a firmaware update..? :9

    Hypnosis4U2NVHow do you figure that? Didnt it give the same information before the update? Try burning a SD2 CD and then confirm that it does..

    By Guest, Monday 23 July 2001 22:40
    Isn't this how it worked all all the time, the plextor drives (1610, 1210 etc.) will copy sd2, but the copy will only play in the source recorder?
