UPDATE: SCSI vs IDE CD burner issue
I posted a month or two ago that I was dissatisfied with my 32X IDE cd
burner. After having a couple of Yamaha SCSI burners that I was extremely satisfied with, the IDE burner would not burn at 32X and made lots of coasters. I received some mixed experiences from folks concerning IDE and SCSI burners. Update... OfficeMax had the MadDog 8X DVD burner (actually a rebadged NEC 2500A) for $40, after a $40 instant rebate and $40 mail in rebate. I took them up on the offer and I am a much happier camper. The NEC burns 32X no problem and no coasters yet. I was in for one surprise... the NEC won't recognize just any 8X DVDR media out of the box, it comes with a list of supported media and a flash upgrade is necessary to use brands not on the list. Naturally I bought an unsupported brand and can only burn at 4X until I get around to flashing the drive. The deal is still available but only in stores. I was lucky enough that my local store had a shelf full, but they were going fast even while I was there picking out media. http://www.maxmyrebates.com/promocen...o_detail.html? productId=1003773&bundleId=4029 -- Mac Cool |
