What in the world is "futile shop"? Your English is excellent, but it is a term I have not encountered in that sense. A disc rated 40x max will work at lower speeds. It may or may not be as good at speeds below 16x as those with a lower maximum, but that is true whether they are specified as 1x-40x or only as 40x. In ancient days, some manufacturers specified a lower speed for write-once media; below that speed, writing was not possible. However, that disappeared from common use long before the upper speed limit was dropped. The situation with erasable media is different, of course. Mike -- mrichter@cpl.net http://www.mrichter.com/ |
