I currently have ATAPI CD-RW on one box and SCSI on another. If you want to run cdrdao I think you are stuck with SCSI. I don't see any advantage of cdrecord over burncd other than complexity, which isn't an advantage. Recently one online place I have purchased from had Symbios '825 based PCI cards for $40. No longer listed on their site. That would be an excellent choice for a CD-RW and/or tape drive. The '875 based card will cost more but should be easier to find. Have been pleased with my HP-9200 8/4/32 SCSI drive. And with my Sony 12/8/32 ATAPI. A Philips 804 (8/4/32) was miserable under FreeBSD and Windows. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
