Wytron CD-298 Firmware History

(Professional CD Duplicators from Wytron)

There will be no further firmware updates for the Wytron CD-298 model, so device support will be limited to v2.85 compatibility.

Version Number.	Release Date	Build Version	Change History
Wytron CD-298 CD Duplicator
v2.85 FINAL	July 03		This version improves readability of various display text & some display functions. Final firmware revision.
v2.82			Added support for 40x CD writers (e.g. Plextor and Liteon), large hard disk support up to 160Gb with a maximum of 26x26 900Mb partitions (named from AA..ZZ). Also added "emulate and write" command which emulates write before copying. Max. 56x writing support. Solves detection problems with some large hard drives.

Customers should note that the are two versions of the CD-298 controller - the "CD-298" model and the "CD-298A" model.

The CD-298 model was discontinued at the latter end of 2002 and the CD-298A model was discontinued in early Sep 2003.

Users can check the type of model that they own by watching the boot-up sequence text carefully. If the controller
displays "CD-298" (rather than "CD-298A") then you have an older model of the controller and you should be aware of its limitations when used with modern high-speed writers (48x or above).

Quite often such discontinued controllers contain very old BIOS revisions, and this can cause serious compatibility problems with modern writers.
