Unite CD-Maker CD-ROM Premastering/Mastering Software for OS/2
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)

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.
