I remember seeing and using 90-min (800MB) and even 100-min (900MB) CD-Rs |
| 15 |
in the past. Of course, don't expect them to work on every CD reader. My |
| 16 |
experience was that 800MB CD-Rs worked with most, but not all, CD |
| 17 |
readers. The only 900MB CD-R I ever wrote filling it completely was not |
| 18 |
readable by any CD reader among those I tried. |

Don't know whether they can still be found nowadays, now that DVDs are |
| 20 |
readily available. |
