For certainly very apparent reasons :), i would recommend you the Plasmon RF4100 (or successor). Technically, it's comparable to the cheap HP drives, i think our drive was ~ 1800 DM, but computer parts are usually a bit more expensive here. It comes with 2 MB cache, and you can stuff up to 32 MB into it. For certain reasons, i tend to believe that this drive will be the first CD-R officially supported by FreeBSD. :-) You could even use the hacky Perl script i've been posting, after a few minor kernel fixes i have yet to commit. It doesn't do very much yet, but allows you to burn just a single data track. Please, make sure you've got team(1) installed before starting it. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
