Thanks for the info dale. The reason i asked, is because the old compaq in my studio{which has all my mtu programs on it except hoster} is IDE. I recently purchased a plextor writer from tiger direct for $49. It's nothing more then a repackaged "Liteon". And.......it's junk. The drawer freezes open the thing freezes, just cheap junk. I know..i know...break down and buy a new puter. I was thinking of thinking of putting the old plextor in the compaq and givein' her a try.
