Yes. USB 1.1 supports a maximum of about 800 Kbps, which means a 5x CD burner (750 Kbps) is the fastest it could possibly support. In the real world, 4x is as fast as you'll ever be able to burn over a USB 1.1 connection. -- Dan Knight, president, Cobweb Publishing, Inc. <http://cobwebpublishing.com> <http://lowendmac.com> <http://digital-views.com> <http://digigraphica.com> <http://lowendpc.com> <http://reformed.net> Atheism is a non-prophet organization. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
