[ale] cdr speeds?

[charrig at earthlink.net (Calvin Harrigan)]

To be honest I'm not sure if most writers will let you write faster than the 
rated speed of the disk, it's encoded on the disk.  But if it does, chances 
are that you will get a coaster.  4x disk tend to be older than say a 24x and 
therefore wasn't designed to be written to as fast.  It takes into account to 
how fast the disk material can be heated and successfully written to.   If 
you burn a slow disk too fast it may not actually burn, but get blistered...
