I recently attached an 8X write CD-RW drive to an 840AV. The 840AV has more than enough throughput to operate the drive at full speed. I would expect an IIvx could handle 1x. I use DiskCopy to create a disk image on the drive. I either build it up piece by piece or create the disk image directly from a CD-ROM. I would suggest partitioning the drive, one for a CD-ROM image and one for everything else. This avoids problems with disk fragmentation slowing the transfer. I have a 2G drive for CD images and a separate 1G drive for the rest. I can master three drives at once (sometimes it takes me a while to build up some CDs I burn). -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
