Harvey,

Panasonic is a division of Matsushita.  You do not say which Adaptec
software you are using.  I checked the Adaptec site and the newest
Matsushita recorder that they say they support is CW-7582.  Newer drives may
be supported but not listed.  Your CDRW recording software is the only
driver that you need to write CDR's and CDRW's, if the software can't find
the CDRW then it may not support  this model yet.  You can check with
Adaptec's support to see if your recorder is supported by their software or
if they plan on supporting it in the future.  I also checked with CeQuadrat
WinOnCD and the Panasonic(Matsushita) that they support is also the 7582.
CeQuandrat does support the 7585 with their Packet Cd program.  I would
check with them to see if their WinOnCD recording software supports the 7585
also.  You can find them at
