Re: My AppleCD 150 can read CD-R's

["Jason Whorton" <jason@microxl.com>]

Hello.  They were indeed single sessions CD-R's that were closed at the end
of the recording.  Since CD-R's are so cheap now, it shouldn't be too bad to
burn a new CD instead of continuing an old one.  My main goal was to have
CD-ROM drive that could take advantage of the GS/OS software controls for
music CD's.

Thank you,
Jason Whorton
