--------------D0AD598C69EBAD8EA55FCB7B Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Q. Does anyone have a recommendation for a cd writer? Ya any Plextor that is SCSI / look at any of the reviews... make sure it has a good size read buffer Q. I'm told SCSI cd-writers are better than IDE under FreeBSD. Any SCSI device is more efficent than IDE devices because SCSI devices run from the SCSI BUS which is not the same BUS as the CPU thats because it has taken off the load from the CPU and therefore leaves more processing power.. any questions? 1mazda1 > Comments?
