Danny,
CD-R technology is still evolving, as evidenced by the lack of a public ISO standard. The proprietary Orange Book Part II
specifies format, physical, mechanical, dimensional, and optical specifications. It does not specify the method required to
manufacture CD-R discs, and the industry is split between stabilized cyanine and phthalocyanine dyes. Each requires different
laser beam powers and write strategies for optimum results. Since a standard for writers does not exist, model "A" might work
well with certain brands and poorly with others. Results from model "B" might be opposite to those of "A". Throughput
requirements complicate matters as higher speed writers become popular.
It would seem my CD Writer works well with Memorex
while yours doesn't.
Take care,
Mike G.
