Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 03 Lun: 00 Vendor: MATSHITA Model: CD-R CW-7502 Rev: 4.16 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 the above is a 4X/8X CDR, don't remember the full brand name maybe its a panasonic? but ive been using it under linux for years with no trouble. Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 05 Lun: 00 Vendor: PLEXTOR Model: CD-R PX-W124TS Rev: 1.06 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 that drive is a 12X/8X/32X (or is it 12X/4X/32X? i forget) CDRW. i've only used CDRs on it(never plan to use CDRWs) and it works great too all the way up to 12X write. i wouldn't use an IDE CD recorder but thats just personal opinion. nate -- ::: ICQ: 75132336 http://www.aphroland.org/ http://www.linuxpowered.net/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]
