Just make sure you get SCSI. I highly reccommend the cdrecord
program. Take a look at the docs that come with it for a list of
suported devices.

No, they still use a laser like conventional CD-R drives. As far as I
understand it, the layer that the pits are burned

Yes, I am well aware of that -- I was just backing up one
of Stephen's points. If you
Well, that is over a network, which has nothing to do with SCSI, IDE, or
parallel ports... the network is the bottleneck instead of the interface.
Benchmark your network in windows.. it'll probably be less than 10mbit --
around 600 or 700kb/s..
Besides... you were using windows, and windows (fr

After looking around on the net, I think that is right.

I know SCSI is faster, but if the drives only write at 2X or 4X, why does
it matter? ... I think the buffer size and supported functions are
probably the most important.

not sure about ECP/EPP parallel port drives.

SCSI would be a much better choice. I have IDE disks but felt it
was worth paying a bit more for a SCSI burner.

I'm interested in buying a internal/ide cd writer. I'd like to be able to
(in linux) write audio cds, direct read, speed isn't too important, and
I'm not sure about worm vs rewritable. What is the difference (other than
being able to erase, rewite, etc.)?
Any recommendations?
Thanks
