Hello Tinkerers

     Well, I have done some messing around with the Sony
DRU-720A DVD burner this morning connected to the motherboard primary IDE
33 connector with a 40 line cable.

     I burned a bulk 12X CDRW disc at 4X.  The burn seems to
fine.  What I learned is that using the ATAPI interface
instead of the SCSI interface messes up the drive letters.
I really should have figured that out by the change in ID
numbers.

     Interface   ID Number   Drive Letter
     ---------   ---------   ------------
        SCSI       2,1,0        Drive S:
       ATAPI       3,1,0        Drive V:

     My primary purpose in burning this CD-RW disc is to
see if I can "blank" it.

     Will a cheap, generic, no name media work where an
expensive brand name won't?

     We will find out soon.

     OH, yes, I looked at e-Bay.  They have some Plextor
CD-RW burners for sale.  I'm going to get me one!

     Thanks
