| Overview |
The Compaq 32X Combo CD-RW/DVD-ROM Drive is a
reliable, 5.25-inch, half-height CD-RW drive that can write to CD-R and CD-RW media and
read from any industry standard DVD and compact disc media. The 32X Combo CD-RW/DVD-ROM
Drive communicates data and digital audio to the host computer via an ATAPI interface.
Users can read DVDs at their desktops, and compile and catalog video, sound, photo, and
text files on CDs. The 32X Combo CD-RW/DVD-ROM Drive also enables users to share
multimedia presentations, archive family records and photos; convert video clips, screen
captures, and still images into custom videos; and create custom CD-R discs in minutes.
Additionally, the 32X Combo CD-RW/DVD-ROM Drive can be used for complete data backups to
restore data in the event of catastrophic loss.
NOTE: MPEG video playback is not
supported on Microsoft® Windows® NT®.
Compaq goes to great lengths to provide its customers
with the highest performing, most integrated, thoroughly tested computing solutions. This
quality combination not only simplifies the purchase and service process by providing

| Key Benefits |
- Writes and reads up to 700-MB of data to CD-R and CD-RW
- CD-R write at speeds of up to 4800 KB/s
- Reads from any industry standard DVD and compact disc media (DVD-R pressed, DVD-R,
DVD-RW, DVD-RW multi-border, DVD+R, DVD+RW)
- Ability to read both single- and dual-layer media
- Operates in horizontal or vertical orientation
- Buffer underrun protection
|
Buffer underruns occur when a computer is
unable to transfer data to the recorder (data stream) fast enough to keep the recorder's
buffer full. Many factors can affect the data stream, slowing it down or interrupting it
completely.
CD recording requires a continuous, uninterrupted data stream during the entire write
process of a CD-R disc. Successful CD recording occurs only when the flow of data from its
source (hard disk, CD-ROM drive, network, etc.) to the recorder is at least as fast as the
selected recording speed. All CD recorders have internal buffer memory that temporarily
stores data during recording, acting as a "buffer" against slowdowns in the data
stream. The buffer stores a small amount of data that continues to feed the recorder until
the flow of data from the source resumes. If an interruption lasts long enough to empty
the buffer, a buffer underrun occurs.
Buffer management technology in the 32X Combo CD-RW/DVD-ROM Drive compensates for buffer
underrun errors that would otherwise render the CD unusable due to a failure during
recording. If a buffer underrun occurs during data transfers while this feature is
enabled, the drive will temporarily stop burning, wait until the internal buffer fills
with data, and then continue to burn the CD without any apparent interruption to the user. |

| Dantz Retrospect Express
Backup for Windows |
Retrospect Express Backup takes
the drudgery out of backing up while providing a safe environment for important files.
Instead of manually dragging files from a hard drive to storage media, Retrospect Express
provides intelligent personal backup based on a user-defined schedule. Retrospect is
simple to set up and run—the EasyScript setup wizard creates a complete backup
strategy and begins your first backup in only minutes.
Using Retrospect Express Backup's built-in compression feature, which shrinks files as
they are backed up, media costs can be lowered. Retrospect's IncrementalPLUSä technology supports new- and changed-file backups to multiple
media sets, providing additional safety and saving time. If disaster strikes, lost work is
recovered in minutes by restoring a single file or an entire hard disk in one easy step.
Retrospect Express Backup takes a Snapshot from each backup session to ensure that every
document, preference, configuration, application, registry entry and font will always be
completely and exactly restored. |
