Additionally, both ship with Adaptec Easy CD Creator and DirectCD software.

Iomega's new high-speed internal 12x4x32x ZipCD ATAPI drive is a powerful data management tool that can be used for countless applications, including the creation of personal digital photo albums, family history archives and customized audio CDs.
