My Plasmon burner gets around 300 KB/s onto the CD-R (plus the fixation time), but since it doesn't restrict my usage of the machine except that i should not reboot while it is burning :), what gives? Btw., Yamaha seems to have a terrible idea of how much secret their SCSI documentation must be, and AFAIK, their burners do only have 512 KB cache. This might come pretty tight when running multi-user. -- 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. ;-)
