Advice on SCSI CD-RW

Rumor has it that Jules Richardson may have mentioned these words: They sure do. Had the *first* one ever made[1], too. Spent 3 months on a waiting list for a $550 Ricoh 4x read, 2x Rom Burn, 2x RW burn drive, and it was SCSI; IDE couldn't keep up well enough on the original Pentiums[2] back then; and buffer underruns were *very* common with the first IDE drives. BurnProof & friends obviously didn't exist back then. ;-) Gwarsh - that sucker's awfully close to being ontopic, if it isn't

I was debating all of the differing technologies of the time (PD/CD, etc.)

and when I finally saw a drive that would take a rewritable disk without needing a special caddy, special software, special whatever, I was giddy like a schoolgirl & put one on order. IIRC, it could be jumpered for 512-byte sectors, but my memory might be faulty on that. Still have the drive, it survived a motherboard gesplosion, but then it was just too slow (Heck, the 24x drives were out by then) and insurance paid for a new machine & drive. Laterz, Roger "Merch" Merchberger [1] At least for the consumer market, that I know of... [2] Actually, it was a 120Mhz Cyrix 6x86 overclocked to 133, so it was roughly equivalent to a 166Mhz Pentium, without MMX. -- Roger "Merch" Merchberger -- SysAdmin, Iceberg Computers zmerch at 30below.com Hi!
