If you're real lucky, you might be able to get ahold of a 16x Plextor CD-R
drive
Hmm, I used to have a Plextor drive - I think it was only 8x though, not 16x.
Still, it was a really good drive. Unfortunately mine gave up a few years ago
and I've been through several HP and Yamaha units since without finding a good
replacement. (I think my current 'operational' drive is a 4x Yamaha; I'm not
near the machine to check)
It's not that big a deal as I hardly ever use CDs for anything because they're
so unreliable though...
FWIW, I don't think I've *ever* seen a SCSI CD-RW drive, only CD-R. I expect
that they must exist, though.
