Hitherto, I have used R80 (700mB) discs in my computer disc drive.

The current offering from Viking is for a much higher storage capacity.
How do I tell if my fairly ancient drive will handle these discs?


The easy way is to try and burn one. Deoending on how old the drive is,
it may or may not be able to cope with CD-Rs up to 800Mb, but you may
need to get a bit "clever" with the driver configuration. What capacity
are the new discs?
