Don't get a pinnacle-micro. I've seen 3/3 unhappy pinacle customers 
who sent theirs back.  If you know someone with resale license,
get a yammaha-cde100 4x recorder for around $1300.
It's got one of the most stable (not changing) bios's around. 
Someone will eventualy will write a driver for freebsd. burning the
freebsd cdrom takes 18 mins on this puppy;)
