I don't think speed is a problem if you use rewritable media as software
such as Adaptec's Direct CD which treats the burner as another drive so
it is just like writing to a floppy.<br>
<br>
If you are burning to CD-R then yes you must have a continuos stream of
data or you end up with a coaster. Burning speed can be adjusted - the
lower the speed the more accurate is the burn.<br>
<br>
Audio - CD-R only<br>

<blockquote type=cite cite><font face="arial" size=2>Sorry for the off
topic post but my tape backup (Iomega Ditto) system is on the fritz for
the second time this year.&nbsp; I would like to get rid of it and backup
my downloaded data on a CD-RW but I have a few questions I hope someone
can answer:</font><br>
&nbsp;<br>
<font face="arial" size=2>1.&nbsp; I have a Pentium 120 system with 48
Meg of Ram.&nbsp; Most of the newer CD-RW specify at least a Pentium 233
with 32 Meg of Ram.&nbsp; My understanding is that once the CD is being
burned that it must have a continuous stream of data even with the 4 meg
of buffer in the CD-RW.&nbsp; Will my system have a problem supplying the
data or will it just run slower than the specified 8X write, 4X
rewrite?&nbsp; If it does run slower do I need to tell the recorder to
run at a slower speed or will it automatically adjust?</font><br>
&nbsp;<br>
<font face="arial" size=2>2.&nbsp; Secondly, sorry if this is a basic
question, can the cd-RW recorder produce audio CD's for playing in
standard portable CD players?&nbsp; I think that it can but only on CD-R
disks and not on CD-RW disks.&nbsp; Is that correct?</font><br>
&nbsp;<br>
<font face="arial" size=2>thanks in advance,&nbsp; </font><br>

Hi CMA

Now I'm really confused. I just received this from CBOT

===============

"... Large firms usually have full memberships which would require a Cti2.

>>> "Walter Lake" <wlake@xxxxxxxxx> 03/31 6:19 AM >>>
Hi

In your Liquidity Data Bank data, where are the large commodity funds
placed? In category Cti1, Cti2, Cti3, or Cti4? ..."

==================

Best regards

Walter

| Hi CMA and others who wrote
|
| It doesn't sound logical for the large commodity funds to be included in
the
| commercials category. I had assumed that the funds were in Cti#3.
|
| I got the following note back from CISCO futures who are really into this
| type of data.
|
| ==============
|
| "... March 31, 2000
|
| Mr. Lake:
|
| Large (and small) commodity funds normally trade though CTI 1.
|
| The larger ones may have a membership and hence would be eligible
| to trade as CTI 3.  However, we have seen little evidence of this
| happening. ..."
|
| ===========
|
| This is a problem.
|
| Floor traders aren't going to end up with a net position to hold over
night.
| So logically, it sounds right. (see distant month beans attachment)
|
| But ... the net of the Cti#1 categories for the different months doesn't
| match the net fund position listed in the different commodity reports that
I
| get nightly. Not even close most nights.
|
| All I have to do is figure why the numbers don't match
|
| Any suggestions would be appreciated.
|
| Best regards
|
| Walter

| | Hi Walter:
| |   CBOT has 4 classifications of market participants:
| |   CT1--local floor traders
| |   CT2-- commercial clearing members
| |   CT3--members filling orders for other members and for non-clearing
| | commericial traders.
| |   CT4--members filling orders ofr the public or for any other type of
| customer.
| |
| |  So I would say that the large commodity funds are in CT2.
| |          Hope this helps, CMA
