Interesting. I should mention that I'm also closely considering a Quadriga system which, in one package anyway, includes a "Combo 4 x DVD+RW/R - EIDE Drive". Can anyone explain just exactly what this drive is? ...manufacturer? ...etc? The online specs are no more specific than the quote above. If it is the kind of CD-R/DVD-R drive that typically accompanies a Dell product then it is likely to only burn in the DVD+R format. This is something I am trying to avoid.

The only drawback - and it applies to few of us - is that they are all EIDE where SCSI CD writers are still available. Mike -- [log in to unmask] http://www.mrichter.com/
