Hardware supported by MakeCD

If you wish to know more about support for different CD writers, please do read the compatibility list. In general, the CD writers listed below are currently supported.

Please take notice of the fact that the programmers of other CD recording software are using our list without being aware of the fact that for some of the CD writers mentioned below special treatment is required to make them work correctly with the corresponding driver. Thus, caution is advised concerning compatibility lists resembling ours that are offered with other CD recording softwares. Our lists are not copied from other lists. They are the result of our own investigations into the differences and similarities between those CD writers.

The following CD writers are ours, therefore those are to be supported very easily. The same applies for all CD writers based on those mentioned below:

• Philips CDD 2600
