pcman62 Oct 05, 2003, 09:14 PM I have a Question about my Sony DRU-500A I have been tolled that the Sony DRU-500a will read and burn DVD-RAM disks. I have tried with No prevail. Has anybody tried this, and if so how did you get it to work? celtic_druid Oct 05, 2003, 10:20 PM Not true. The writing part anyway, also pretty sure that it can't read them. LG I believe have an all format drive, which is also sold by Iomega. handyguy Oct 06, 2003, 11:13 AM Does not read or write them, full specs are @ sony.com BTW, 500a is the oldest model. http://sony.storagesupport.com/dvdrw/dru500adwn.htm Mr Snatcher Oct 06, 2003, 01:58 PM Unfortunately, they are all right. I have the 500a and the new LG, The sony spits the ram out. jesterrace777 Oct 06, 2003, 02:35 PM As mentioned the Sony CANNOT read or record RAM discs. If you take a look at the formats supported by this drive you will see that it never mentions that it supports -RAM. pcman62 Oct 06, 2003, 04:35 PM Thanks for all your responses! Some sales guy at Comp-USA said that all the Sony DVD Burners will read and burn to a DVD-RAM I should have known better to listen to any Comp-USA Sale Persons! handyguy Oct 06, 2003, 05:27 PM The panasonics read DVD-RAM, though. Mr Snatcher Oct 07, 2003, 09:27 AM Yeah, be carefulk listening to comp usa sales people, there no different than car salesman.
