If any of you regularly drop into the "Hot Deals" forum (a dangerous place for upgradeaholics), you are probably aware of the screaming deal which CompUSA had over New Year's week-end for the Zip 12x10x32 "Burn-proof" CD-RW. I couldn't resist the deal and was able to pick one up...$100 after rebate. Making the deal even sweeter is that there is a site which gives instructions on how to hack the burner bios to make it look like a Plextor...same drive, different faceplate and bios.
It is sitting in the box but before I break the seal, I have a decision to make. Being the upgradeholic that I am, I picked up a Smart & Friendly 12x4x32 external SCSI drive this fall when they were being dumped after S&F's demise. Really a nice burner complete with Advansys Ultra SCSI card.
I don't need two so need to make a decision on which to keep...and sell the other. My setup already includes a Plextor SCSI 32X Reader (one of the best purchases I have ever made) and to complete the burning system, have a nice IBM DNES SCSI drive so that entire burning process is all SCSI. Have yet to install the new S&F, continue to use a S&F 6x4x24 Turbowriter ext SCSI which is extremely stable but ready to do it now.
Would like opinions from knowledgeable users which they keep. Sure like the SCSI setup but with the continue advances in UDMA tech, it is really a luxury now.
Look forward to your input.
