I recently got a 3400/OS9 without CD, and I've seen some 6-12x CD modules for $50-100. Anyone know if these CD-ROM prices are about as good as it gets, or should I maybe invest in a CD burner (I think I spotted some EIDE internal drives for $20-$30). Although I may need a SCSI burner now that I think about it, unless I also get a USB or Firewire PCMCIA card and external USB or Firewire case for the EIDE's as well ... any ideas?
-- USB burners only work at 4x speed so avoid them. Firewire is one option though of course if you ever upgrade to something newer it will be redundant, and it will cost more for a recent drive. I would say best bet is to buy a cheap external SCSI burner from ebay. You won't have all the potential problems with firewire cards etc. You won't have spent much so when it becomes obsolete you won't have lost out much. Just my opinion though - hope it helps.
