Got this from Ann when I responded to her privately and she wrote back, intending to write to the list. ----- Forwarded message from Ann Parsons <akp at eznet.net> ----- To: Buddy Brannan <davros at ycardz.com> Hi all, Hey, Buddy glad you found that out. I have to go to the site to get its url so I knew it worked. BTW, you, and anyone else listening. I need some info fast, fast! My computer guru has been roaming around on the HP site today and they have hp8250I CDWR's that are 4x 4x 24x on sale for $79.00. I need to know if these are supported by Linux please. My friend and guru says that if I get the info soon, to page him and he'll order it for me. I'll reemburse him instead of wrestling with an unfamiliar web site. So if anyone knows the answer to this question, please, please respond ASAP!! Ann P. -- Ann K.
