Re: CDRW Drives

[John Black]

I've read a lot of the criticisms of combo USB/FW cards, but mine must 
be the exception. I got it on eBay almost two years ago, and I first 
used it for over a year in a PM 8600, no problems. Now it's in the B&W 
Rev. 2 I'm using right now, and again it's been working for months 
without a hitch. This card has NEC chips, four external USB ports, two 
ext FW ports, and one of each on the inside of the computer, for a 
total of eight ports. The card came from a big volume seller in 
California that advertises zero returns on this card. I've run my Sony 
Handycam on both USB and FW with no problem ever. Same for a USB 
printer and an external USB CD writer. I have absolutely no complaints, 
and I'm coming up on two years of use, currently running Jaguar, which 
automatically recognizes the card. I think when I bought the card I got 
it for about $50.

There seem to be two problems, for me at least, with the combo cards.
First, they are expensive, and second, there seem to create problems
like freezing and corruption (I found this in several articles on the
internet).
Any comments?
