I can't respond to either item directly. I would just say that you should select a drive that writes at least 8x. Some will say be sure to go scsi, but it really isn't too tough to get an IDE device to work. SCSI is easier though and will give better performance. But costs more. Just remember that as for the speed you will probably have it for awhile. -- Kirk Wood Cpt.Kirk at 1tree.net ------------------ Seek simplicity -- and distrust it. Alfred North Whitehead
