subject: Writable CD for NT

On 05-01-97, CHRIS HOLTEN said to NT'ERS:
CH>Is anyone using a writable CD in Windows NT 3.51 or 4.0?
CH>Prices are getting pretty low and I'd like to get an inexpensive one that
CH>is known to work in NT (Preferably NT 3.51), I'm not going to be using it
CH>a lot, so a high dollar setup really isn't necessary. Can NT support IDE
CH>writable CD-ROM's and if so whose brand comes with NT drivers?
CH>I have Adaptec SCSI in the two computers I'd be using them in, so if SCSI
CH>is as reasonably priced as IDE, I could do those, but I'd prefer IDE for
CH>universality with all my companies computers.
I've been using Easy-CD Pro 95 in both Win95 and NT with good success.
However, I doubt it would 1) work with an IDE writer (seems to want SCSI 
nly)
and 2) be a good idea to use IDE in the first place (many IDE components seem
to lack long-term reliability in general).
I'd recommend SCSI writers but would steer clear of IDE ones unless the track
record has been proven by someone else...
