Hello from Gregg C Levine
I am also unclear. I have just the one unit, and it is dated, June 2000. And
I am using CDRs for my work. Everything I have seen says the unit won't work
on CD-RW discs, not CD-R, and that certain machines won't work with CD-RWs,
and that there are some machines that will. Specifically ones with those
dates. I am unclear as if my machine is one of them. I shall probably latch
onto the second machine RSN for my work, regarding the original project.

I own 3 Dreamcasts.  One is August 2000 - works.  The second is October
2000 - works.  The third is December 2000 - doesn't work.

What official docs are you referring to?
