So just how fast of a CD burner can a USB interface handle? 12x, 24x, 36x? I'm talking about USB 1.1, since 2.0 is as fast as Firewire. Since I have both a PC and a Mac, the cross-platform simplicity of USB is appealing. Even better is an enclosure that sports both Firewire & USB interfaces. :-) I assume you couldn't use both at one time... -- --------------------------------------------------------- Drew Taylor * Web app development & consulting [EMAIL PROTECTED] * Site implementation & hosting www.drewtaylor.com * perl/mod_perl/DBI/mysql/postgres --------------------------------------------------------- -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
