CH>I have read where mitsumi has developed an IDE writable CD-Rom. I assumed
CH>it was on the streets, but may not. There is no good technical reason that
CH>a writeable CD can't use an EIDE buss.
Sure there is - IDE transfers require lots of CPU time, which may cause the
system to be too busy to keep the writer's buffer full.  *The* major problem
with writing CDs is buffer underruns - you get a $5-7 coaster.  There are now
parallel port writers available but they require a fast computer.  A
SCSI-based system will work on a 386 as long as the system isn't busy.
CH>So far no reply from anyone that has a writable CD, SCSI or not, working
CH>in NT though. I know they work in DOS and W95, but that I am only
CH>interested in one that works well in NT.
I assume this was before you received my message stating that it works under
NT just fine...
