Aww, no need to do that. I use a USB CD burner under Linux and it works perfectly. (I think it's called an Acer 8824MM). It also has a PCMCIA interface which works quite well, too. I burn at 6x with no dramas at all -- and as a bonus, if you have the required cd-burning tools installed (e.g. cdrecord), and your USB kernel drivers are all set up, the drive'll just pop up as a SCSI CD burner when you plug it in. There's nothing else to set up. Email me back if you'd like help with it. (Put me in the Cc: list otherwise I'll never get around to reading the mail :). Sorry I didn't really answer your question about USB2, though. -- #ozone/algorithm <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - b.sc (comp. sci+psych) -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
