I'm not sure that on-the-fly means, Copy from a cdrom reader directly to the cdr writer. The CDRDAO package works great like this. CDRECORD will do the same madness... you pipe the output from MKISOFS to CDRECORD... no files written to harddisk. The only worry about this is... you need good trhough-put everywhere... and I'm not sure how an IDE will fit into this scheme. Tranparently. Linux sees *all* CD burners as SCSI burners. cdrecord doesn't give a hoot what architecture is behind the scenes, that's for the kernel to worry about. See the IDE CDBURNER SxS for more info. At any rate, begin end your search at www.pricewatch.com. I live there. :') Also www.pricecombat.com... I managed to find a new, Hrm...never knew about that one. THanx! leftover yamaha 4416s for $105.00. I was just interested to see if the IDE stuff was any good... You can find IDE CDRW's for as little as $50.00 new... IDE burners are as good as they're built. Yamaha Plextor have very good reputations. Other brands have lesser reputations. = Lonni J.

I have a Yamaha 4416e ide version of your scsi. It'll be 2 years old in October and still running strong(knock on wood). Either get a Plextor or Yamaha, rated #1 #2 respectively. As far as IDE v.
