Chapter 1 Introduction
The Sony 1600L i.LINK ® (also referred to as the CRX1600L) is a high
performance external CD-RW Recorder/Player with the IEEE 1394
(also called i.LINK or FireWire
® ) Interface. The 1600L i.LINK drive is
capable of recording and playing rewritable CD-RW and write once
CD-R media as well as being able to read mass produced stamped
CDs. This drive is equipped with the i.LINK interface which can be
easily connected to iBook
TM , iMac ® DV, G4 and Blue and White
Macintosh G3 computers with built-in FireWire ports as well as PCs
with built-in i.LINK ports or with the addition of iLINK cards. The
1600L i.LINK drive does not support the Apple
® FireWire PCI
card. Unlike most other interfaces for storage devices, the i.LINK bus
is not only very fast, but extremely easy to connect and use without
severe limitations as to the number of devices and the distances of the
cabling between devices. And the i.LINK connector is “hot pluggable”
meaning that it can be installed or removed while the computer is
running. Please be careful never to disconnect the drive or other
linked devices while data is being transferred.
