Thanks Wreski, and everybody for the advices that you are giving me.
Wreski, you mentioned about the rewritable cdroms? There's already
rewritable cdroms? And how much do they cost, and what about speed? I
understand speed is critical when particularly dealing with stuff like
audio and video, and most cdroms I think don't go beyond 1600 kbs. Any
body heard about the syquest syjet drive? It is supposed to have been
developed for audio and video applications, and apparently they used film
and music producers to test the reliability as far as handling
time-critical applications such as music recording/playback and video.
Wreski could you please tell me more about the rewritable cdroms, if you
have more info about them? Thanks
