I've been anxiously reading these responses as I'm in the
market for a cdrw drive as well. I'm curious why you say
get a SCSI connection? Is it because of the drive
performance and reliability or does Linux work better
with SCSI drives like this? I was looking at that new
TDK velocd if anyone has any comments on that.
