[Awards self 5 demerits for being too subtle.]
Let me amplify - I'm looking to replace a SCSI CD-ROM with a
SCSI (and faster than SCSI I, if possible) DVD reader.  If I can
find something that also writes DVDs for a reasonable price, even
better.

I use the SONY DVD RW DRU-500A, which is an IDE DVD+/-RW DVD writer.  It 
works great!

FYI:  The FreeBSD kernel needs to be compiled with atapicam for DVD 
burning using dvd+rw-tools.

I'm using the SONY DRU500 IDE drive (current model is DRU700) and
have had no problems with it.  It's the only one I have so I can't compare
it against anything else.

2004-08-28 Thread Robert Huff

One of my (SCSI) CD-ROM drives is dieing; to replace it, I was
thinking of getting something that handles DVDs as well.
Is anybody doing this (that's a pro forma question) and what
advice do you have?
