The Sony Spressa i.LINK (also referred to as the CRX1600L) is a high performance external CD-RW Recorder/Player with the IEEE 1394 (also called i.LINK or Firewire) Interface. It is capable of recording and playing rewritable CD-RW and write once CD-R media as well as being able to read mass-produced stamped CDs. This drive can easily be connected to iBook, iMac DV, G5/G4/G3 computers with built-in Firewire ports as well as PCs with built-in i.LINK ports or with the addition of iLINK cards. The Spressa i.LINK drive does NOT support the Apple Firewire PCI card. The i.LINK connector is "hot pluggable", meaning that it can be installed and removed while the computer is running. (Please be careful never to disconnect the drive or other linked devices while data is being transferred.) Software Requirements: The software included in the box requires the Apple 'Classic' environment (Systems 8 - 9.x and OS-X through v10.4.x), but there are more modern software packages (such as Adaptec/Roxio Toast) which can be purchased separately to work on later OS versions.
