Yes cdrecord does support Burn-proof check their home page at: http://www.fokus.gmd.de/research/cc/glone/employees/joerg.schilling/private/... I could not get it to work with my Asian clone but it was not a name brand drive either. I worked just fine. I just did not do any demanding tasks while burning CD's. Don't loose any sleep over what channel your CD-R is on. If you have something made in the last couple of years it will be fast enough and have a large enough buffer not to make any difference. If you have an older CD-R you probably should use it as a reason to buy something new. PBen On Saturday 29 September 2001 10:41 am, Man Ly wrote:

Hello, I am thinking of buying a CD R/RW. What are the gotcha's ? Any recommendations. I have only IDE, no SCSI. Thanks.
Does cdrecord support Burn-Proof? From what I've read, Burn-Proof requires support from the mastering software (this is definitely the case with Windows software).
Secondly, when burning ISOs, does cdrecord use DAO mode?
Finally, the previous advice to put the CD-RW drive on a different channel is appropriate. However, many of us already have both a hard drive and a CD/DVD drive; but only 2 IDE channels on the motherboard. My impression is that it is very safe to put the CD-RW burner on the same channel as the CD drive. Even for current fast burners, this doesn't appear to increase the rate of coasters produced.
