Also, Plextor has a 12X4X32 writer, which Yamaha doesn't yet, so I'd say Plextor is the performance leader right now. If I were to spend any dough on a CDRW drive right now, I'd probably bite the bullet and pay the roughly $350 U.S. for the Plextor 12X4X32. -- Chris Dillon - cdillon@wolves.k12.mo.us - cdillon@inter-linc.net FreeBSD: The fastest and most stable server OS on the planet.
