BladeRunner 0 Posted April 7, 2000 Go forth and purchase ye self a Yamaha Seriously, I have a 4x/4x/16x Internal SCSI Yamaha CD-RW and it's excellent. Had no problems with it, 2MB buffer etc etc. You didn't mention if you were looking for IDE or SCSI, but both types are good. Share this post Link to post
