It's an IDE burner, not SCSI. I'm not interested in burnin at
over 8x. Most of the time I burn at 4x. Other than the quality
drives (Plextor and Yamaha), I just thought it might be a good idea
to investigate the cheap ones like Lite-On. Few things I need to
ask, are the Lite-On's made by Lite-On, or are they rebadged from
other manufacturers? Can the firmware be flashed from DOS, and are
updates available (or have been)? I went to their site to look for
myself, but got an 'under construction' message.
