Recording speed on NEC DVD+RW ND-1100A DELL OEM

The Herrie firmware for the 1100 (actually a hack of the 1300
firmware, with "unguaranteed" DVD-R support added to the 1100

Some 1100 drives may handle -R to a degree using this, but the main
reason is to have a single root firmware , and since the 1300 is
little more than the -R capable version of the 1100 abd was more up to
date, it was logical...

The herrie firmware uses MCC002 @ 4x as the default strategy for
unidentified media (+R)

Actually, if you have moved from Maxell 4x to Maxell 8x and they have
similar codes, using

To switch the 8x media to the code of the 4x may help, as there is
usually good compatibility.

Of course, if the new media is MCC003 and is not added by this
firmware, MCC002 is probably about as good as you can get as a default
strategy for it.

With some of the old drives now, it is getting to the time when you
have to kludge it or scrap it, especially looking at the current
prices ... I can remember paying more than that for a CD-ROM.
