CD-R/RW (Internal and USB)
The OASYS can read and write UDF format CD-R/RW
disks. For more information, see “CD-R/RW disks on
the OASYS: UDF and packet-writing” on page 1033 of

which allows you to write repeatedly to the same

convert such disks to the more common (but less
flexible) ISO9660 format.
