Hi,
I'm haven't got a PC yet, but am thinking of doing so, in order to run Linux
and DOS and maybe NT too.
What I'd like to know, is are there any Linux drivers that support read/write
CDs? Can these CD rom drives read ordinary CDs (I think it sounds a silly
question, but you never know...). How does a read/write CD drive compare
in access time/transfer rate to a CD Rom drive?
[I'm thinking of using the CD drive to act as a backup store, rather than use
a tape or Worm drive. Of course I'd also like to use the Cd drive to install
Linux...]
Cheers for any answers.
