The same one that you had. I have an IDE Yamaha 4-8-24 burner that has
worked flawlessly under Linux. In all honesty, i've never even tried
using it under windoze.

I'm not sure that "on-the-fly" means, but that sounds like more of a
software feature than a hardware feature. At any rate, begin & end your
search at www.pricewatch.com. Other than the random times when
somewhere like Best-Buy is selling a burner for well below cost just to
draw you into the store, you'll *ALWAYS* find the lowest prices at
pricewatch. Its where i buy all of my hardware.
