Cdrecord only supports SCSI. Is only a list of 2 but I've been fairly happy with a Sony 160e, and totally unhappy with a Philips "804"-something (8/4/24 I believe). The Philips was slow and unreliable in reading its own work. Also with FreeBSD dd would read the media one block short. On SCSI I'm far less happy with my HP-9200i (8/4/32) than I used to be but its much better than the Philips (IDE/ATAPI) it replaced. And even happier with my ancient Panasonic CW-7502 (4x write, 8x read) CD-R. -- 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.
