Yamaha unveils its external CRW-F1 CD-Recorder !

Yamaha has revealed another piece of their puzzle. This time they've unveiled some pictures of the external version of the CRW-F1 writer as we already reported about here, here and here:


Yamaha Electronics Corporation unveils three new external models in its revolutionary CRW-F1 family of CD recorders, introducing Yamaha's sleek, exhilarating new look for its external models.

Designed specifically to enhance the style and appeal of the contemporary computer workstations, Yamaha's all new CRW-F1 external models are not only geared to provide easy connectivity, reliable performance and high-quality top-speed CD recording, but also become an appealing, decorative part of any work environment.

Available in three models, CRW-F1 family's external models will be available as: 1) A Dual Interface model featuring both FireWire and USB 2.0 connections (model CRW-F1ZDX); 2) A USB 2.0 model (model CRW-F1ZUX); and 3) An Ultra SCSI model (model CRW-F1ZSX).





Designed from the ground-up as an external model rather than just another internal CD recorder boxed inside a crudely designed external enclosure, CRW-F1 models come with all the features and performance qualities associated with the internal models. All external models feature Yamaha's revolutionary DiscT@2TM Laser Labeling System (which allows graphics and text to be burnt onto any CD-R disc), 24X CD-RW ReWriting with full Mt. Rainier support and the exclusive CD-RW Audio Track Edit system, Yamaha's award-winning Safe-Burn buffer underrun prevention technology with 8MB of buffer memory, jitter suppressing Full-CAV writing technology, and Yamaha's class-defining Advanced Audio Master Quality Recording System for mastering studio-quality audio and data CDs.


The CRW-F1 external models will be available in August 2002, beginning with the USB 2.0 model. The dual interface FireWire/USB 2.0 model and the SCSI models will follow shortly. You can read the full press release here.

PhuncLittle question: Ultra SCSI, is that the 50-pins or 68-pins connector ?

Nice lookin piece of kit..Question: Which is more efficient SCSI, firewire or USB 2.0?
By Da_Taxman, Saturday 22 June 2002 16:30
Da_TaxmanI believe Ultra SCSI is 50 pins, UltraWide SCSI is 68...

As for SCSI vs USB 2 vs FireWire: USB 2 has the highest bandwidth I believe, but I don't know how they compare when it comes to CPU usage.

Would be a nice question for our forum

SCSI is Suppose to take the load of the CPU. I own a Old Traxdata 4120 Pro(ne:Teak).But CPU load is not an Issue these days.Unless you have an Old Processor Cheers megod ANTHRAX Free® Embarrassment
