Firmware:

If nothing is specified, any firmware version will work. However, the newest firmware version available is recommended.
Rev. >= X.X : Firmware version X.X or better is required
Rev. = X.X : The exact Firmware version X.X is required. Any other version WILL NOT WORK.

Best Write Mode:

RAW-DAO 96 = 2352 bytes RAW Data + 96 Bytes P-W Subchannel Data. This is the best mode for CloneCD. It allows writing of all subchannel information, including Digital Signatures, CD-Text, ISRC, Catalog Numbers, CD+G, CD+Midi, Gaps, Indices and Crazy TOCs.
RAW-DAO 16 = 2352 bytes RAW Data + 16 Bytes P-Q Subchannel Data. This is the second best mode for CloneCD. It allows writing of most subchannel information, including most Digital Signatures, ISRC, Catalog Numbers, Gaps, Indices and Crazy TOCs.
RAW-SAO = 2352 bytes RAW Data. This is the third best mode for CloneCD. Feature support is drive dependant. ISRC, Catalog Numbers and Indices can be written. Usually CD-Text, CD+G and CD+MIDI can be written as well. Crazy TOCs and Digital Signatures can't be written in this mode.
SAO = 2352 bytes error corrected Data. This is the worst mode for CloneCD. Writing of ISRC, Catalog Numbers, Indices and usually CD-Text is supported.
- = Writing to this drive is not supported. CloneCD will not recognize the drive as a CD-Recorder.

Buffer under run Technology:

= Drive offers a buffer under run technology like BurnProof or JustLink. This option can be controlled by the user.
= Drive offers Seamless Link buffer under run technology. Seamless Link is always enabled and can not be switched off.
= Drive offers a buffer under run technology, but the current CloneCD version does not support this feature yet. It is very likely, that this feature will be supported in the future.
= Drive offers a buffer under run technology like BurnProof or JustLink, but this option does not work with CloneCD RAW writing and MUST be turned off!
- = Drive does not offer any buffer under run technology

Correct EFM encoding of regular bit patterns

= Drive writes regular bit patterns correctly
- = Drive does not write regular bit patterns correctly

Best Read Mode:

RAW+96 = 2352 bytes RAW Data + 96 Bytes P-W Subchannel Data. This is the best mode for CloneCD. Reads all subchannel information like ISRC, Catalog Numbers, CD+G, CD+MIDI, Gaps, Indices, Digital Signatures.
RAW+16 = 2352 bytes RAW Data + 16 Bytes P-Q Subchannel Data. This is the second best mode for CloneCD. Reads most subchannel information like Gaps, Indices and most Digital Signatures.
RAW = 2352 bytes RAW Data. No Subchannel Data can be read.
- = Reading from this drive is not supported.
