I'm having trouble finding a simple answer to this... Lots of speculation but no real conclusive results (that I could find)
1) An old IDE CD-ROM for an early P133, that can read CDRs
I'm looking for something in the range of 4x-8x because my current IBM 4x seems to be dying/dead as it used to read CDRs (rarely) and regular CDs (usually) but now it pretty much reads nothing so I think it's dead. I don't want anything faster than 8x because I want to remain period specific. I need IDE and I don't want anything slower than 4x because of game support (which shouldn't be a problem since I think <4x can't read CDRs anyway) I can't use SCSI because I'm out of room both physically for a card and memory wise. What drive would you suggest that fit these criteria?
2) Modern DVD burner capable of overburning the CD-R99 format.
I have a bunch of discs that are 890MB 99min and I can't write to them. Also, my daily top end PC's drive is crapping out on me and needs to be replaced. I'd like a top of the line SATA DVD Re-Writer but one with the capacity to write R99. So far my research has turned up some LG model CD Re-Writers but I need DVD support. Are there any Black, SATA, high quality DVD Re-Writers out there that can overburn R99?
