As Dan Riley wrote: > Has anyone had any luck with their HP or Philips cd-writer on a Adaptec > 2940UW? If not what is the preferred controller for this application? The controller is fairly irrelevant (well, as long as it's a good one, not just a PIO hookup monster like the old Seagate ST-01 :). CD-R drives don't require a very fast SCSI bus, they usually only write with so-called double speed. That translates to 305 KB/s for CD-ROM data, or 350 KB/s for raw (like CD-DA) data. That's far below any disk's rate today. I'm pretty sure i could successfully use my aged AHA-1540A for the CD-R drive as well. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
