From: Mark Knecht <markknecht@gmail.com> To: gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 X-Archives-Salt: 8bced44b-3188-4288-b54b-d492dd778ff8 X-Archives-Hash: 9a3ea3e0a1fefdbf44370582514db2f9 Hi, My 5-year old gentoo-AMD64 machine when up in smoke this week so I'm building a new machine. Most parts are on order but one big change these days is the motherboards I want to purchase no longer support EIDE/ATAPI interfaces so I'll have to get a new CD-R/DVD-R drive to get the OS loaded and for writing mostly audio discs using cdda2wav/cdrecord. While I understand firmware is often a problem on these drives I'm wondering what drive manufacturers folks would recommend these days as having the best results with cdrecord? Thanks, Mark
