RE: [PLUG] CD Writer Softwear? And MP3-wav conversion?


FYI: MicroCenter in Villanova has OEM SCSI (internal) CDwriters for $129.

Question, is your CD writer IDE, and are you able to write CD's 
reliably?  I've had bad luck with 2 CD Writers (a Ricoh and a Sony),
(not in the HOWTO supported list) with the Ricoh I get a bad cd 
around 1 out of 5 and with the Sony I had more bad cd's than good 
ones.  Could be the motherboard or the kernel, I ended up putting 
the cd writer on a Windows95 box.

so I'm considering getting a SCSI but theyre more expensive, If you
have IDE is it running reliably?
