Technologies has announced a new CD-RW recorder, the Freecom FC-1. The drive supports 52x recording
speeds, 32x re-writing speeds and read speed of up to 52x. What's special about
the drive is that it has a built-in 7-in-1 card reader for memory cards:
The Freecom FC-1 52x32x52 CD-RW burner with 7-in-1 card-reader
is the new flagship of the Internal range. The drive is available as an
internal version for PCs, and is connected via the IDE and USB interface.
This high-speed burner writes CD-Rs at 52x speed, and rewrites CD-RWs at
32x speed. With the ultra-fast Freecom CD burner, a complete 80-minute CD

reliability when writing or rewriting CD blanks. This ultimate drive for
the power-user boasts not only an ultra-fast CD, but also an integral
7-in-1 card-reader. The card-reader supports CompactFlash, MicroDrive,
Smart Media, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, Secure Digital and
