Yeah, but that also assumes the CD can be driven through the adapter. Most cheap IDE CD mechanisms can't, and for what you'd pay for an adapter + mechanism, you could buy a SCSI burner. The same logic does *not* apply to hard disks, where SCSI is considerably more expensive and overkill for most applications. the pickle FAQ <http://macfaq.org/index.shtml> Software Archive <ftp://download:[EMAIL PROTECTED]//Users/thepickl/Sites/Archive/> _________________________________________________________________ -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
