Sorry for the confusion.
To clarify, I meant that usually, only one MBR _is written to_ on a machine. That
being the first device the system BIOS recognizes.
In Michael's case (I'm assuming here, but from what he said i believe to be true),
"/dev/hda" (AKA MBR of primary master IDE) is setup t
What about the Adaptec 1460. People on USENET and on the PCMCIA site say
it works, and it is only $99 (as opposed to $199 for the 1480). I does
not have CardBus, but ruther PCMCIA type II. This probably means 16 bit
transfers. Can this handle a 1x or 2x burner reliably?

Um, this is very badly stated. There is one MBR per hard drive. Period.
Some motherboards will automatical
Important thing to remember is that there is usually only one MBR on a machine.
If you have a SCSI and IDE mix, it'll setup to the IDE before SCSI
Currently, I have a SCSI drive for Linux and an IDE drive for Windows98
I've been bitten by this in the past.

Hi guys,
I have not used windows for years. But recently a project I am working on
requires some tools that are only available under windows xp. So, I need
to put in a second harddrive (I want it to be a slave on the first IDE
bus) in my system and try to install windows xp on it. I hate this. B
Interesting idea. I do not have access to a desktop, but all I really
need is a backup medium. Perhaps I should look into other things (tape
drives?). What do you guys use for computer backups? Preferably cheap.
CD burning attracts me because
a) CD-R are dirt cheap
b) Most other computers have
What about a direct CardBus CD burner? Searching the web now.

Ahem. $199 for the Adaptec 1480, plus ~100-150 for an external scsi.
This is kind of steep. Any other suggestions? (Pinch a penny till the

good investments after all.
Thanks!

Any Teac or Plextor would be great. Hypermicro.com has all the goods,
they specialize in highend storage and have good prices. SCSI's
expensive but it won't ever let you down ;)
Also, I don't know about firewire cdrw's in linux, but they've been
reliable on Macs from what I've heard. I think t
Fine. So Adaptec 1480 is a CardBus<->SCSI adapter. Which SCSI burner do
you recommend to go along with that?

Get a cardbus SCSI card and external burner if you want reliability. Just my
2c...
I recently sold my 16x ide burner and went back to my SCSI 6x burner, it writes
better and more reliably with audio.
Its not exactly the cheapest, Adaptec 1480's run $120+, but they do work with
Linux.
