Thanks

Yeah it's the ability to write CDRW disks one block at a time. This way people don't have to wait for a CDRW disk to format, they can just use a CDRW like a floppy disk. Put the CDRW in, drag the files over to it like you would with a A: floppy drive and delete or move them as you please.

Does it require software to do the writing or is it all hardware?

I believe it is a software-side feature built into XP.

Yeah the idea is that it's built into future operating systems. Win XP has it, and future Linux, BSD builds are supposed to support it. It is used in conjunction with a Mt. Rainier supporting drive.
