You can run about as many burners as you can fit ATA controllers in your machine, there are no limits to that. Now to make things run smoothly, you should better get drives that support DMA to minimise the CPU overhead and to be on the safe side they should have "burnproof" of semilar technology as well (can you even buy an ATAPI burner with these features today?). Anyhow I know of at least a couble setups with 8 burners each that are used for making small release batches of CDR's works without a hitch using burncd and some custom scripts.... -- -Søren
