IDE.
Flo.
Interesting! And it doesn't require WinXX software to run? The reason I ask is that at work I have an HP CD-Writer 8100 connected to my box. It is a USB device and I had to move from Win95 to Win98SE to run it. To make matters worse, the USB connection is such a bad implementation that while I am buring a CD if I run any other software at all the burning process dies and the CD is spoiled. I would never recommend a USB solution to anyone right now. USB stinks. JLK -- Scientific theories, according to Sir Karl Popper, can be "falsified," or proven wrong, by experiment. Unscientific theories -Marxist dialectical history and Freudian psychology were Popper's favorites- are formed in such a way that they cannot be falsified by data.
