Default New drives don't recognize old-stock media

With write-once media being dirt-cheap, I stopped buying all types of

Maybe too unreliable for you. When Mikey was shilling for Take Two
before the reports of DirectCD bugs started pouring in:

=======================
From: Mike Richter (Acraptec Shill)
Subject: A note on Take Two
Date: 9/1/99

For Take Two to work ideally, your drive must support
packet writing and you must have DCD installed...to do it.

You may back up ... to a DCD-formatted erasable.
=======================

Imagine for Take Two, supposedly a backup software, to work "ideally" no
less, it must use supposedly *inherently* flaky, fragile, faulty,
unreliable packet writing format!

Moreover, the supposedly *inherently* flaky, fragile, faulty, unreliable
packet writing format was good enough for BACKUP, even when combined
with supposedly *inherently* flaky, fragile, forgetful, unreliable cd-rw
media!
