Are you pretty sure you have cooled it enough? Mounting it in a normal PC tower is very likely to be _not_ enough cooling, as other people have also reporting. You typically get write aborts when it overheats. (I eventually forgot the exact SCSI error message, but ISTR that somebody told me the error is explained in their SCSI ref manual.) I can recommend the Plasmon, but i don't have an idea about their pricing these days (our RF4102 is ~ 1 year old now). They come in a separate case with a fairly low-noise temperature-controlled fan inside. Despite of the first two frisbees when starting my CD-R work, i've never seen any misbehaviour of that part. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
