Hi Sandy,

Several years ago I had a ide cdrecorder that made a numerous amount of 
coasters.  Its warranty was only for 6 months and the product was cheap. 
 Just after the warranty expired the device died.  I broke down and 
bought a Yamaha SCSI drive and have not made a single bad cd backup.

As others have stated on this thread I feel that there are problems in 
the SCSI emulation support for some of the ide cdburners.

I do not know if this will be of any use, but I had the same problem 
with the ide drive.
