Bought a Sony ATAPI 12/8/32 CD-RW late last year. Pretty happy with it. So I later purchased another ATAPI, a Philips 8/4/32, which sucked. The Sony's were pretty pricy, and I had cashed in on one $50 rebate already. So in replacement of the Philips ended up with a SCSI HP 9150i 8/4/32 for $140 while comparable HP ATAPI 9350 10/4/32's were $150 locally. Already had the SCSI card (a Symbios '875 purchased several years ago for under $60) so the delta was more like $20 over the Philips price. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
