I have just set up my 7.1 box and I am floored by it. I absolutely love it. I am new to linux and this is the third distro I have tried after redhat and mandrake. htis is by far the best. now that i have decided to stick with it, i want to get a burner so i can inch closer to dropping microsh*t altogether. i would love to hear everyone's opinion on which ones work best, both scsi and ide. thanks in advance for any info you wise people can impart to me.

Hi Mike, I highly recommend Plextor SCSI due to high standards. W.D.McKinney (Dee) deem@wdm.com On Thu, 15 Mar 2001, Marley, Mike wrote:

Hi Mike, Glad you like it. I too have used RH, but could not get past the eye candy on Mandrake. I believe setting up a SCSI burner is easier to do on Linux...Although I have an IDE burner running fine, but I had to use yast to say the following: system administration->boot configuration->LILO->kernel parameters: The example in ym system is: hdd=ide-scsi Save and exit, then go to /etc/modules.conf You will see a line about scsi hostadapter, set this to ide-scsi. Save and exit, run SuSEconfig. No need to do that with SCSI. Matt On Thu, 15 Mar 2001, Marley, Mike wrote:

Hi, I've got a Plextor SCSI PlexWriter 12/4/32 which works great ! Using xcdroast as soft. Good luck Filip. Le Jeudi 15 Mars 2001 19:23, Marley, Mike a écrit :

Hi Mike, I doesn't really matter today. Buy what you can afford. If you decide SCSI, don't settle for a crappy (cheap) controllercard. If you decide for IDE, emulate all your IDE CDROMS/Burners/DVD's through IDE-SCSI. Makes it easier for some programs when looking for the units. Also, don't every buy a LG (lucky goldstar), they spew out errors every minute or so (crap drives). My two cents :-) Sincerly, Jens Nielsen On Thursday 15 March 2001 19:23, you wrote:

I have an ATPIA PleXwriter 6/4/12 that works beautifully as a CDROM, and the SB PCI512 plays beautiful music from a CD in it. BUT, I cannet get xcdroast to see it when it is configured as ide-scsi, and the SB PCI512 refused to install properly under YaST2 (Test won't give a sound). If I were to do it over again I would order both a SCSI CDRW and a scsi Zip drive. The emulations are a pain to setup, if they work at all. imo JLK
