CEBrown, now that interests me. I'd really like to use USB (not until I have Win98 installed however). Could you point me in the direction of where you found that? I initially was hoping that I would find a CD-R in USB, but I guess technically that is asking a lot now. (Pan, everything I read points to scsi for the better CD-R--I'm kind of illiterate about scsi, altho' I can learn). Diane B.
