EIDE Rewritable 12x or 10x Drives?
Greetings - I am currently trying to find out information on EIDE CD-RW drives with a 10x or 12x rewritable speed, and their compatibility with the packet-writing module. I have attempted a TEAC drive but had horrible luck. I am currently looking at a few models - Sony (CRX195A1), ASUS (CRW-1610A), Mitsumi (CR-480ATE or CR-485CTE) and Lite-On (LTR-24102B or LTR-48125W). Are there any recommendations on these or any other drive that would fit these criteria? Any help you can give me would be GREATLY appreciated, including recommendations of other reasonably speedy drives I'd be able to find at a local CompUSA. I don't want to have to try out and return every drive in the store. Please send any replies to the list - I think others would benefit from this, and I don't check my mail that often. Thanks. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! - Official partner of 2002 FIFA World Cup http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com

I have a Sony CRX175A-RP, 24x/10x/40x, powerburn. It works well with the packet writing module. (It doesn't seem to support Mount Rainier though.) Also when testing, make sure to use the latest patch (2.4.19-pre4) even if you are using an older kernel (such as 2.4.18). The 19-pre4/18 combination is known to work, but if you try a combination that doesn't work, you have much better chances if you upgrade the kernel instead of downgrading the packet patch. (Some drives need the 2.4.19-pre4 patch to work at all.) -- Peter Osterlund - petero2@telia.com http://w1.894.telia.com/~u89404340
Hi,
I'm using a 16x12x40 Cyber Drive with no problems.
But to reenforce Peter's warning about patch/kernel versions, I had no
success whatsoever with my previous drive ( a Mitsumi 4802TE) until I tried
kernel 2.4.19-pre5 with the packet writing 2.4.19-pre4 patch.

I have a 10x RW unit, based on A-OPEN hardware, it works wonderful with packet-writing. I use samsung cd-rw media to write at 10x, without a problem.
