Any Teac or Plextor would be great. Hypermicro.com has all the goods, they specialize in highend storage and have good prices. SCSI's expensive but it won't ever let you down ;)
Also, I don't know about firewire cdrw's in linux, but they've been reliable on Macs from what I've heard. I think the popular FW->IDE chipset Oxford 911 works under Linux. This could end up being about half the cost of SCSI. Patrick On Mon, 2002-08-26 at 12:02, Alexander Boulgakov wrote: > Fine. So Adaptec 1480 is a CardBus<->SCSI adapter.
