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?


What do you mean?

There are a few CD makers producing media that are not orange book
compatible and probably best avoided unless you like living dangerously.


Ah! Slight intelligence gap.

I searched for CD discs on the Viking site and their only offering was
the DVD+RW at 4.7GB.

I guess this is a different animal?
