Minimum Configuration to Use the PX-708UF

Here's what you'll need in order to install and use the PX-708UF drive.
• Computer:
Y
PC: Pentium III 700-MHz CPU or faster.
Y
Macintosh: Requires Mac OS 9.1 or higher.
• Minimum RAM: 128 MB.
• Interface: USB (2.0 or 1.1) or IEEE 1394 (FireWire) interface.
• Hard disk size: To write to a CD in image mode (that is, to write an
image of a CD to your hard disk), you need 1 GB of free space. For a
DVD, 6 GB of free space is recommended. (For more accurate
guidelines, see the help files or documentation for the recording
software you're using.)
• Operating System:
Y
PC: Windows XP, 2000, Me, 98SE.
Y
Macintosh: For FireWire and USB 1.1, OS 9.1 or higher
recommended. For USB 2.0, OS X is required.
NOTE: You cannot use the PX-708UF with early versions of Windows
98; if you are using Windows 98, it must be Windows 98SE (Second
Edition).
NOTE: The built-in USB ports on older computers (and even on
inexpensive new ones) provide only USB 1.1—that is, Full-Speed (12
Mbps) USB. This limits the CD-RW drive performance to 4X write, 4X
rewrite, and 6X read, while DVD performance with USB 1.1 is 0.7X. For
optimum performance if your PC or Macintosh does not have built-in
USB 2.0, use the FireWire port, if available. Or, for PCs (and Macs with
expansion capability), you can purchase and install a third-party PCI
USB 2.0 or FireWire plug-in host adapter card.
