I'm shopping around for a CD-RW drive for my ex-7200/7600 G3 PCI Mac. I have a FireWire card, and would like to use that interface. I visited OtherWorld Computers, and noted two that seemed appropriate: http://eshop.macsales.com/Catalog_Item.cfm?IDe31&Item=OWCNPFW523252S http://eshop.macsales.com/Catalog_Item.cfm?ID`62&Item=LAC300706U I note that there are lots of DVD-RW options, too. But would they really work with my Mac, which is slow at 300MHz? I also peeked around at Small Dog, and found a slightly slower LaCie FireWire CDRW 52x/24x/52x P5 Porsche (compare with 52x32x52x above, 2nd link on OWC) for two bucks less than OWC's faster one. Have any of you used these devices? Any recommendations, warnings? A year ago or so I bought a SCSI CD-R, used. It worked for one burn. So I'm interested, now, in buying new equipment. __________________________ I had an iOmega 48X . Made 5 readables on 3 different CD-R media from about 35 trys . LOST that sucker and bought a Buslink 52X Strictly plug and play first time EVERY time.. And when I asked a question about the PCI card compatibility the head of the service department answered ! And he used to work for APPLE ! He wrote the manuals for many PCI Macs. -- Adrian -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
