Well to help answer your question I went to the Yamaha website since we both have Yamaha CDRW machines. I find that Yamaha has two models that are newer then your 2100 machine. The 2200 & 3200 CDRW machines. They both are made in Firewire,USB, IDE & SCSI Internal & External models. The 3200 also has an IDE/ SCSI model works for both!!! So while SCSI maybe less common in the future it has never been as common as IDE. It is a rare PC machine that has a SCSI bus installed. New Macs use IDE CDRW & DVD .They are usually cheaper then SCSI models. I have a TDK IDE model in a PC and it works really well . Many people have found they can use IDE CDRW and DVD players with their OLD World Macs/clones by using an IDE/ATA pci card. So I'm fairly sure we will have options that will work in our machines for their useable life time. Which has already lasted a lot longer then Apple hoped they would ;-) Will S -- Unsupported OS X is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Unsupported OS X list info <http://lowendmac.com/lists/unsupported.html> Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive <http://www.mail-archive.com/unsupportedosx%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Mac?
