I burn multiple CD's with my EIDE cd-rom burner all the time. And no where in the documentation did it tell me I couldn't. My software even let's me burn multiple copies. Tabor Kelly [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I just burned 3 CDs back to back today at 2x speed. Never have heard of anything that requires you to power down after writing a CD, and frankly, any drive that would require such a thing wouldn't be used by me in the first place. I seriously doubt there is such a beast.

I have gotten CD-R disks for as low as 10 cents each (after a rebate on a 10 pack.). Also I think you can't even buy a CD-R drive anymore, all the new ones are CD-RW (which also write CD-R's). Compusa and best buy have periodicly had IDE CD-RW drives on sale for $149-$199 after rebate. I havn't
