For copying audio cd's, I think scsi might be better if you want to copy audio cd's on the fly, but that might not be so important... As cdrw discs are now only twice as expensive as cdr discs, I think the cdrw option is very useful. I use it for backups, for example. I'm working on a script for creating (compilation) audio cd's. By now it sort of works (a whole lot better than the windows software that was shipped with my Philips drive, but that's not too hard :-) I'll try to put it on the web this week and I'll post a link.

No problems at all, except 2speed writing is nog so fast. One problem I've run into with this setup is that certain operations (blanking CDRWs, fixating CDR or CDRW) would cause the reader (or anything else on the same controller to be come unavailable until the operation was complete. It took me quite a while to notice the problem because actually writing to the CDR didn't cause any problem and I never had problems copying CDs etc. I was under the impression that this was an issue with the Linux SCSI support (and thus IDE-SCSI as well). Has anyone else seen this sort of problem? -- Ray
Re: CD-RW drives and Linux
I have the Panasonic CW-7502 SCSI CDROM drive, with an AMD K6-2 350 and 128Mb of PC100 memory. I have compiled the kernel, watch updatedb start running in the middle of a burn and compiled the Mercury compiler (much more memory, cpu and disk intensive then the kernel) during CD burns without any hitches. I do remember that on my old Cyrix P200 system with a TEAC CD-Writer, that it didn't like reading straight from the IDE CD-ROM to burn onto the SCSI CD-Writer. Since I use my CD-W as my only CD ROM now, I can't confirm if that is still true. Pete.

Re: CD-RW drives and Linux
I am doing the IDE/IDE thing. If you already have a SCSI controller, you could go for that. I have had no problems; just compile SCSI-IDE emulation support into the kernel so that both your IDE cdroms will speak scsi. Somebody mentioned CPU usage. I don't see why this should matter, I don't touch my system while it is burning. It is not suggested to do any IDE intensive use such as extracting and compiling a kernel. Is SCSI all that much faster for burning? I have a 40x CD-ROM and a HP 7200i CD-RW.

CD-RW drives
Does anyone know if recent Linux kernel versions support CD-RW drives, such as the HP 7110I?
