To create CDs or DVDs, you will need the following items in addition to CD Writer Suite v4.10:
| ExtenDOS 4 | ||||
| Atari or Atari-compatible system, including:
| ||||
| A compatible CD/DVD recorder device (see the ExtenDOS 4 documentation for a list); since current DVD recorders have IDE interfaces only, systems without an IDE interface will also need a SCSI-to-IDE converter in order to use a DVD recorder | ||||
