I recently bought an HP 1040 external drive for about $100. It reads and writes any kind of CD or DVD, including 2 layer, and with its USB interface I can connect it to any of my computers. It works well and it's fast. Linux handles it with no problem. I know there are cheaper ones out there, too. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
