I use the Yamaha CRW4260. It's a 4x Writer, 2x, Re-Writer, and 6x Reader. SCSI-2, fast, external or internal, does disc at once (and everything else except kpcms), and is "standard" so it should work with freebsd, although I haven't tested it. I can get it for about $445 from revelation products (www.revpro.com)...they'll sell to anyone. Thank you, Jonathan A.
