cd-r with fd-4

[silksmoov]

is it possible to use a cd recorder rather than a zip drive to save and record data to? I noticed that the 250mb zips are about the same price as a lowend/midrange cd recorder?
Any thoughts? comments?

Hi,

As far as I know (which isn't very far at this point), this is not possible to do. If anyone knows better then I would also like to know how.

I would guess that this is probably something to do with the format of the recording which is Fostex own format (which is a pain in the neck, why couldn't these machines record in wav format or some generic format?). Like, even if you could record onto CD-r it would probably not be able to play in your normal CD player. If anyone knows any better feel free to correct me as I'm quite new to this myself.
