I wish that I had seen this list before ordering a 3500 this morning.....  |
| Don't worry. This drive will burn just about anything, as it adjusts it burn startegy during the burn to suit the media. I've already seen scans of media not in this list and they are very good scans.

| That list seems way out of date or NEC are playing it safe, don't worry, the ND-3500A will burn just about anything with good results  EDIT : for example Ritek G04 and G05 are not on the list, they both burn very well.

| thanks for all the imput , I also see in another thread that it burns Optodisk 0R4 very well. i have a stack of 50 . well whatever is left after burning a few coasters with my lite-on 401@811s  so maybe i will have to buy one to use up the rest of the spindle thats a good excuse right ??? |
| Yeah, the NEC Europe supported media list is pretty useless and incomplete. Ian@cdrlabs has listed some media supported HERE
