from most of the CD-R owners I know, the main difference between owning an
IDE CD-R and a SCSI CD-R (talking about UDMA for IDE) is that the systems
with the SCSI CD-R allow you to do more other 'stuff' while burning cd's,
and the systems with the IDE CD-R's like you to leave it alone.. burn time
is about the same
