I am interested on info on the available hardware for this. The software I will be generating the RRIP format CD's with is Eric Youngdale's mkisofs (god-sent software !). Thanks Eric. What I want to know is: a) What is available, with contacts, maybe even in the UK :-) b) Can I treat this like a write-once optical driver under *NIX likes - (NetBSD and Linux specifically), or do I need to write/find special adaptations of SCSI drivers (Do NOT tell me about DOS drivers please !) c) How much !!! Cheaper the better, no frills just hardware. The ones I have seen info on etc are: JVC (half height, 5 1/4", about #4000 UK pounds = $7000), and I know Sony, Phillips, Ricoh and Chinnon are advertised. Which ones are badged versions of the others. Ideally I would like something like the JVC that can go internal to a PC cabinet. Thanks for any info, I will summarise and post if there is anough interest, -- Peter Galbavy work: peter@micromuse.co.uk +44 81 875 9500 home: peter@wonderland.org =========================================================================== "Bad planning on your part does not constitue an emergency on mine." - Please attribute this quote.
