I have not tried to put a cdrw drive on my controller, but I've heard of others doing so without problems.
As for the stuttering audio, Sonnet's site mentions it, and basically, boxes with slower cpus (mainly 601's) can't keep up with the card when playing audio from the hard disk. CD drives are not as fast as hard drives, and don't have this problem. Sonnet's software fix actually slows something down so the cpu can keep up. CD drive functions should be normal in any case. -Peter On Fri, 22 Nov 2002, Charlie Reyes wrote: > Michael Clark <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > >Just wondering if anybody has got a cdrw drive to work on a ahard raid 66 > >IDE controller card? > >I have one in my 7500/G3/440 with 1 60Gb drive on it, and my SCSI CDR is > >dying and I want to replace it with a CDRW. > > > >Any help appreciated. > > > There was a thread on the list about timing issues with Sonnett's (or > Acard) ATA-66 PCI card, specifically "audio stuttering" which may have been > solved by faster ATA-100 cards.
