subject: Bootable CD - application disc

Hi All,
I updated my 8x4x32 Acer CD-RW today to an 52x24x52 ASUS CRW-5224A for 
AU$67 {~US$50}.  This had a 25 page English language section in the 
usual, nicely produced, ASUS glossy manual - other 25 pages was in Chinese.

On the Product Introduction under Specifications|Application discs was 
the following :

12cm  or 8cm diameter, 1.2mm thick
CD-Audio, CD-ROM, CD-ROM/XA, CD-I,
Mixed Mode CD-ROM, Photo-CD,
CD-Extra, Video-CD, CD-Text, DVCD, CD-G,
Karaoke CD, I-Trax, and lastly *Bootable* CD

So I presume that unlike my 8x4x32 which would *never* boot from the 
MCP1 installation CD, even using the "pause" trick, this one will?

OS/2 Warp is included under OS compatibility.

I didn't change a thing on the box it's now installed in, as I use the 
lockcdr.flt, it just picked up the ID automagically, and now burns 6x as 
fast as its predecessor on supplied 24x CD-RW, and also came with a 
52x-CD-R, and Nero Express 5.5.10.4!

Also, under Recording form, along with DAO/TAO/SAO/Packet write/Overburn 
there is also *DAO-RAW* mode.
I haven't come across this last term before.  Anyone know just what it 
is, before I go Googling?

TIA

Regards,
Mike
