Below is an list of the most recently working CDR-W and CD-Rom drives based in CloneCD homepage. Note that here listed only the drive whish support "DAO RAW" writing mode and not "SAO RAW" mode. Drive which are not listed here will probably work in the "SAO RAW" write mode with CloneCD. However with that mode you will not be able to backup "SecuROM" and "PSX Libcrypt" CDs.
