Hi, I'm looking for a solution to burn CD-Roms with my Laptop. (Gericom OverdoseII, 366 Celeron, 64 Mb, 2x pcmcia, 2x usb) It shouldn't be too expensive and should work in real life, not just in theory. (And of course with linux)
Here are some considerations. Maybe you can correct me, or tell me what works ok for you, or give some recommendations. external ide-writer connected to parallel-port too slow, too unreliable during burning, system almost stops during parport data-transfers (at least thats my experience with a external parport 2.5" Hard-Drive), can only burn at 4x speed external writer connected to usb port a bit more reliable, but till too slow, same 4x speed limit, problems with usb kernel support external scsi-writer connected to scsi pcmcia-card 2 words: too expensive external ide-writer connected to ide-pcmcia-card inexpensive, no speed limit, the external case can also be used for eide harddisks So currently the last one is my favorite solution. But: Does this work? Has anyone done that? And where do you get these ide-pcmcia-cards? thanx ron ----- Sent using MailStart.com ( http://MailStart.Com/welcome.html ) The FREE way to access your mailbox via any web browser, anywhere!
