NEC and LG are quite ok as far as i can say. My LG GSA-4082B is a bit slow with CD-RW (10xCD) and doesn't do well with DVD-RAM (<= 1xDVD, 50% chance to have a checksum mismatch in 3.5 GB of data). Nevertheless, you can mkfs and mount DVD-RAM like a giant floppy. With DVD-RW it does not like all media. The more expensive the less like. (shrug) DVD+RW work best (all my media are 4x RICOHJPN/W11 although from various brands). If i count it right, i burned a total of 3 DVD+R with it (Verbatim 4x DVD+R) since spring 2004. No DVD-R ever. Linux firmware flashing would be a point for NEC (http://binflash.cdfreaks.com/#drivelist) I've seen several NECs working well with kernel 2.4 and ide-scsi. Have a nice day :) Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
