Re: C2-HP CD-Writer Plus 7200i ReWritable CD-Rom compatibility]
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has been able to uses cdrw disks using other
drives than the hp 7200i, and if you can read/write a Windows formated
cdrw
under linux?
It would be great to be use my 'big floppy disks' at other school, etc.
Thanks,
Wim Kerkhoff
