Hello fellow 'thusiasts... I gotta PowerTowerPro 250, mainly stock, but a few add-ons. Hardware: 640Meg RAM (cheap, can't imagine why people go without), Sonnet ATA100 card with an IBM GXP 60Gb drive connected. Got some qualms about that drive, given recent press reports, but it works. The Sonnect card seems to "hang" on occasion for 10 seconds or so. Also have a USB card in it, but have never been able to make anything connected to it work!
Some time back, I acquired a Teac 4X SCSI CD burner. I'm in the midst of a recording project and the burner just up and died last night. So, I need to, rather quickly, find a CD burner that I can get IN and make play FAST. I'm fixated on still using a SCSI internal drive. The Sonnet IDE card is - well, not fully trustworthy yet. But if someone out there has been successfully using an ATAPI CD burner on the same Sonnet card, I can be convinced to try it. What CD burners have people had success with lately? I'm low end, under $100 if possible. Also, I notice a LOT of external drives are availble. If I buy an external SCSI CD-R or CD-RW, can I pull it out of the housing and put it inside the machine? The internal SCSI bus runs faster than the external bus, and I have some S-L-O-W peripherals on the external bus, which would interfere with the burner. Thanks!
