Unfortunately, many of the older or least expensive drives on the market today have problems reliably reading large CD-ROM discs. In the past, our discs were all over 630 megabytes in length. Using newer compression methods, we were able to reduce this by nearly 50 megabytes in storage requirements. The removal of some over one megabyte sized files that were prone to CRC errors saved us additional space without sacrificing the quality of our product. We hope this resolves all the known compatibility problems with the drives available on the market today.
