I think you mean CDROM DRIVE. The 'driver' is what enables a hardware device to communicate with an operating system.
There isn't really much difference in *most* brands since most are made by the same few companies, and all to the same specs as far as the read speed specs go. You may find larger buffers in some (over 128k), so that is good, and you want one that is multi-read (capable of reading ALL CD media...cdr, cdrw, cd-i, cdx, photo, audio, etc). SCSI's cost more than IDE's, but they are generally faster. Of the brands you list, I guess I'd be more inclined to go with Asus, Sony or Teac. -Clint God Bless Us All Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com http://ComputerHardware-ConsumerElectronics.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alireza Radman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, February 15, 2002 1:16 PM Subject: PCWorks: A good CD-ROM driver?!
