Xcarét Pro Expansion Bay CDRW Drive

Why won't the Xcarét Pro CDRW drive’s tray disengage when I push
the eject button?

The following conditions must be met for the eject button to disengage
the CD tray:

• The Xcarét Pro CDRW drive must be inserted in the PowerBook

and the PowerBook must be powered on.

• If there is a CD in the Xcarét Pro CDRW drive, it must not be

mounted onto the Desktop.

If the above two conditions are met and the eject button is still not
working, then it is necessary to disengage the CD tray using the emer-
gency eject hole. It is recommend that this is done with the PowerBook
powered off.

Why won't my music CD play from the Xcarét Pro CDRW drive using
the CD Control Strip or the AppleCD Audio Player?

In order to use the CD Control Strip or the AppleCD Audio Player to
listen to a music CD using the Xcarét Pro CDRW drive, you must startup
your PowerBook with the Apple CD/DVD extension enabled. Upon
startup, this driver loads for the Xcarét Pro drive and enables it to work
with the CD Control Strip and the AppleCD Audio Player application.

Does Retrospect software recognize the Xcarét Pro CDRW Drive?

Currently, Retrospect software does not recognize non-mounting Power-
Book expansion bay storage devices. We are working closely with the
software maker now to ensure compatibility in the near future.

While using Toast, I ran the self-test option under "Recorder Info"
and it failed, yet I am able to successfully write to CD-R's and CD-
RW's. Is this normal?

Yes. The Xcarét Pro CDRW drive does not have a self-test function and
so when it encounters this command from Toast, it responds with an
illegal command request message and consequently fails the self-test.
Your Xcarét Pro CDRW drive is, however, operating normally.

Can I write to CD-R's and CD-RW's using Toast while I have other
applications running?
