PX-W4012TA Plextor 40x12x40A (YES!!! this drive *IS* Compatable!!!)
 

Will the new PX-W4012TA (http://www.plextor.com/english/products/40_12_40A.html) work with your software? I have this bad boy coming through the mail. It does say this on their website:

Supports CD-DA; CD-ROM (Mode 1); CD-ROM (Mixed Mode); CD-ROM XA (Mode 2, Form 1 and Form 2 and Mixed Form; CD-I; Photo CD; Video CD; CD-Extra; CD+G; CD Text


Jason..

I'd be interested in knowing this too as I just purchased this about 1 week ago and was plannng on installing it this weekend.

I hope it's compatable with microstudio ???????:t

Yes,
This drive will work with Microstudio Version 2.315.

and can someone explain just HOW?
 

I have yet to figure out how to get the MicroStudio SOFTWARE to work with PlexWriter 40/12/40A HARDWARE. I'm loosing hope.....

Mowesy, try downloading the demo Microstudio 3.215 and see if it makes any difference. Support seemed rather specific when they answered your post.

take care,

George

Mowesy, glad it worked with the 3.215 demo.I'm posting here instead of private message so's the others above will know as they had questions regarding the same burner.

To upgrade to Microstudio, I believe you go to the main MTU website, click on Karaoke Products, then click in Microstudio Software, Then on the upgrade tab. That should take you into the
store.

Take care,

George

Mowesy,
You will need to have Microstudio Version 2.315 to support this drive. You can purchase the upgrade from www.mtu.com for $15.

i tryed to check this drive with the 2.315 demo version ,,, it just crashes . bummer . any sugestions ?

Hepster,
Here is the location of the ASPI drivers that are needed

Download this file: http://www.mtu.com/upgrades/microstu...idrivers16.exe


You will need your Microstudio Email and serial number to install this program.


Then go into Microstudio, click on the Drives menu at the top. Click on ASPI drivers. Make sure this is set to USE the MTU Installed Driver. Then close Microstudio and Reopen it. This will then fix your problem.

those new drivers worked , the plex4012ta works on my system :))

now i need to order the upgrade ...

Bryan (MTU),
I am going to purchase a new CD.R drive. Do you recomend the
PLEXTOR 40. 12. 40.

Terry,
Yes, that drive works correctly.

my question is this?
 

i have a plaxtor and i also have microstudio V2.315 is the $15.00 upgrade better than this or do i already have the better micro studio do i also need to get the upgrade having lots of problems thank you

You have the newest version on todays market...

Terry, just installed two Plextor 40/12/40's over the weekend, one on my XP system and one on my 98SE system, using the old Plextor 16/10/40 and 8/4/32 as read drives. Both work great, and will write high speed CDRW's at 12X.
