I have an older laptop, only USB (1.1 only I think, but I heard USB2.0 
is backwards compatible) and PCMCIA ports avalable. I want to get a CD 
burner, and, as far as I can tell, PCMCIA doesn't provide enough bus 
bandwidth to burn reliably (I have 32 bit, though, so I don't know about 
that). USB seems to be fine, and so I am aiming for a USB based burner. 
I looked on some sites about USB burners under Linux, and the best one 
seemed to be HP CD Writer 8290. Some other ones that work well were I/O 
Magic MagicWriter and Iomega External 4x4x6x CD-RW, Phillips 
CDRW400,Plextor PX-W2410TU. I am not concerned about having a fast one 
-- my main criteria are price and /reliability/. Any suggestions or 
experiences appreciated.

Alex
