I am currently considering returning a recently-purchased Sony CRX175A and buying a Teac CD-524E. Among other reasons for the switch, I have had severe problems with using the Sony with pktcdvd; although I can read and write files to some extent, it sporadically fails and often leaves the discs unusable save for a reformat afterwards. Has anyone had any experiences, positive or negative, with the Teac CD-524E (CD-RW EIDE, 40x read, 24x record, 10x write), regarding Linux packet writing or in general? This seems to be the most attractive drive available, with support for Mt. Rainier pending a firmware upgrade.
My TEAC CD-512E is the only drive that I never made work with packet writing at all and it has some other problems as well. The chances are good that the problems are gone with new firmware (can't test without W*nd*ws) and new models like the CD-524E, but at least I won't get another TEAC drive. Yamaha and Plextor worked fine for me. Arnd <><
