Description:
|
The Iomega ZIP CD 650 is among the first CD-RW drives manufactured by Iomega. It connects via the USB port, and has an external power supply. It can use both the 650 MB (74 minutes audio CD) and 700 MB (80 minute audio CD) CDs. No additional drivers are needed to mount the drive under linux (kernel 2.4.x and above). A lot of effort is required to mount it, if possible, under pre-2.4.x kernels. The drive mounts as /dev/cdrom, or if you already have a cdrom, it mounts as /dev/cdrom1. In the kernel, SCSI support, SCSI emulation, SCSI-CDROM support, and USB support have to be enabled for the device to mount (and function) properly. The device reads/writes/rewrites at speeds of 6x4x4 under USB 1.1, while it is 52x24x8 under USB 2.0.

Purchased new when first released, this drive was not a good external drive under Windows (slow with many failed burns) but works well as an internal drive under Windows98 and SUSE Linux 9.1. Rip off the cover and remove the USB adapter to use it as an internal drive. K3b burns discs without abnormal problems. I run it without a face plate but one might make one by cutting the external one to fit.

With K3B have to force to burn cd's with it. Also have to use a fairly low cd speed (1x or 2x) but works fine.
mounts as my second cdrom drive.
