Software Package:
The package included a CD called 'CD-WARE' (2 CDs actually - one for Macintosh and one for the PC platform), which includes all the CD-Recording software which you may need. The CD-Ware install process has something remarkable: It 'speaks' 12 (!) languages!

It's extra easy to follow even if you have absolutely no experience in computers. This is what the manual describes:

'...The CD-Ware software package contains all of the system software necessary to operate your Iomega CD-RW drive. It also contains the software needed to create CDs. The primary applications are described below:

Toast (Mac only) -Create audio CDs that can be played on your home or car stereo CD player, or create data CDs to store files and folders copied from your hard drive.
Adaptec Easy CD Creator (PC only) -Create audio CDs that can be played on your home or car stereo CD player, or create data CDs to store files and folders copied from your hard drive.
Adaptec DirectCD (PC only)-Copy files directly to your Iomega CD- RW drive the same way that you copy files to and from your hard drive. You can save files directly to CD-RW discs from within programs, such as Microsoft' Word. You can also use Windows Explorer to drag and drop files to CD-RW discs.
Iomega Quik Sync 2 software (Mac and PC) -Every time you save a file to your hard drive or a network drive, Quik Sync 2 software can automatically make a copy of that file to your CD-RW discs. Support for any of these applications can be found at http://www.iomega.com/support ...'

Our tests done mainly with firmware P1.9. After a while Iomega has released a newer firmware version (2.0) which improves compatibility with CDR media.

Iomega Predator Drivers

We expected though, newer versions of the programs that they are included (for instance Easy CD Creator is version 4.01). Even though, they worked perfectly with whatever task we tried (CD-Recording, AudioCD Creation, PacketCD Format/ Recording, CD-RW writing/erasing etc).

Something we have to state here, is the state-of-the-art HTML manual that's included into the CD-Ware CD-ROM. It contains information for just about everything you might want to ask and certainly will answer any questions you might have -if not, you can always try at the support page of Iomega on the web: http://www.iomega.com/support.

Iomega Predator Cd-rw Driver Download

The Predator is an external CD-RW drive that is rated at 8x write, 4x rewrite, and 32x read. Up until now, the Predator hasn’t been able to burn or read at its full speeds — the PC card and USB interfaces are considerably slower than FireWire, and limited the drive to operating at 4x4x6 instead.

Iomega Predator Drivers

Iomega Senior Vice President Doug Collier said his company is excited about offering FireWire for the Predator.

“We are delivering on the needs of Macintosh users and a growing population of PC users of FireWire connectivity with a cutting-edge portable CD-RW drive with speed performance far in excess of current USB connections,” said Collier.

Rather than integrating a single computer interface, the Predator utilizes interchangeable adapters. USB 1.1, FireWire and PC card are all now available. Iomega plans to support USB 2.0 as well.

The Predator ships with Mac software, including Adaptec/Roxio Toast CD mastering software, MusicMatch Jukebox and MGI PhotoSuite. System requirements call for a PowerPC G3-based Mac or better; Mac OS 8.6 – 9; CD-ROM drive or 740MB free space to copy CD data.
