Cirrus Technology's Unite CD-Maker software, developed using IBM's state-of-the-art System Object Model (SOM) and Workplace Shell technology, is a complete software package for creating your own custom CDs. CD-ROM discs can hold more than 600 MB of data and are readable by virtually any DOS, Windows, OS/2, and UNIX system with a CD-ROM drive. Unite CD-Maker simplifies the process of creating permanent archives of critical data and mastering industry standard CDs for universal interchangeability. Use Unite CD-Maker to solve your backup, archive, and distribution problems.

TARGET APPLICATIONS

- Perform periodic backup - Perform long-term data archive - Replace your existing bulk paper distribution process - Distribute large applications or databases

MAKES THE WRITER A READER TOO!

OS/2 cannot normally recognize a CD-recordable device as a CD-ROM reader. Unite CDlMaker device drivers overcome this limitation, allowing the CD-recordable drive to be used for both reading and writing! No second CD-ROM drive is necessary!

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

- OS/2 compatible system running OS/2 WARP Version 3.0 or later - PC 486/33 or higher - 8 MB of RAM minimum / 16 MB recommended - Hard disk drive

 Disk drive space:  4 MB for installation and up to 650 MB for
   each virtual CD image file.
 Disk drive speed:
 Single speed recording: most standard hard drives
 Double or quad speed recording:  Fast hard disk with an average
   seek time of 12 milliseconds or faster and transfer rate of 1.2
   MB per second or better.

- 3.5" Floppy disk drive - ISA, EISA, MCA, VLB, or PCI bus architecture SCSI controller - CD-recordable device (see Supported Hardware and Software

 specification sheet for specific models and recommended media)

- OS/2 Presentation Manager supported monitor (high and low

 resolution)

- Mouse or compatible pointing device

SUPPORTED CD-RECORDER VENDORS

- Kodak - Philips - Pinnacle - Plasmon - Ricoh - Smart and Friendly - Sony - Yamaha - Cirrus Technology is constantly updating its vendor

 list. Please contact us for a current list of other supported
 CD-recorders.

ALLOWS PRE-WRITE TEST BURNS

Before writing to the disc, the Unite CD-Maker software lets you run a "test burn" to verify that your system is fast enough to perform a successful write at the selected speed.

MULTI-THREADED PERFORMANCE

Unite CD-Maker takes full advantage of OS/2's multi-tasking capabilities to increase the speed and reliability of CD creation. Unite CD-Maker uses multiple "threads" to read data from the hard drive and write data to the CD-R drive simultaneously. This performance boost allows you to burn your CDs at higher speeds. The multi-threaded design also provides a user-adjustable memory buffer and visual buffer meter to greatly reduce the chance of failed burns. No DOS or Windows CD-making software can provide these features!

SUPPORTS ISO 9660

ISO 9660 is the internationally accepted format for the universal interchangeability of CD-ROMs. Established by the International Standards Organization (ISO), the ISO 9660 format is ideal for users who need to distribute large amounts of data to a variety of computer platforms. Unite CD-Maker creates CD-ROM discs that can be read by virtually any DOS, Windows, UNIX, and OS/2 system with a CD-ROM drive.
