I just had a Plexwriter 16/10/40A CD-R/W drive installed in my beastie. I got it from the same shop that built my computer, which has run like clockwork for the past two years, so I figured they know what they're doing. I haven't yet used the burner enough to know what the heck I'm doing, but I have copied a couple of CD-ROMs and that was ducksoup, just like backing up a floppy. A mess of software came with it that the man said should be all I really need, but I also have MusicMatch installed. I'm reading manuals now, and following this thread with interest.Don Firth
