Hello, "Danzig Glenn":

Panasonic, from my extensive online research, appears to produce the top DVD
and CD (IDE) recorders, and they're among the most affordable, too. They've
always excelled at DAE (i.e, digital audio extraction), whereas, their
competitors' offerings have often been faulty in this particular area.

Japan's Matsushita is the parent company of Panasonic, as well as other
well-known electronics brands (Technics, Quasar, etc.). OEM (original
equipment manufacturer), also called "bare", versions of Matsushita's
DVD/CD computer drives are distributed, minus the "Panasonic" label; they
typically lack "burning" software, cables, and printed documentation. As a
result, such devices are significantly cheaper than their fancily-packaged
"retail" counterparts.

For instance, I recently made an online purchase (from LiveWarehouse
<http://shop.store.yahoo.com/livewarehouse>) of the Matsushita (OEM)
SW-9571-CYY (a.k.a., Panasonic LF-D521) "Multi-Drive." At a mere $148 (U.S.
dollars), plus free shipping, it's a genuine bargain. I'd already bought
Nero 5.5.10.x (full CD; $9.99, total), off eBay <http://www.ebay.com>,
a few days before.

This superior combination of hardware/software amounted to a paltry
$157.99! (Neither has arrived, yet, however.) The SW-9571-CYY, with its
capabilities of writing to DVD-R/DVD-RW/DVD-RAM/CD-R/CD-RW, must be the
most versatile specimen of its type, available today.

It seems that a relatively small number of non-Matsushita drives currently
support DVD-RAM, but, it's largely considered the best solution for data
storage purposes. It can be rewritten up to 100,000 (versus other media's
1,000) times, and in Windows, allows the disc to be used the same way as
a hard disk. That is, files can be saved via the "drag-and-drop" method,
without the need of installing potentially flaky "packet-writing" software.

Incidentally, the SW-9571-CYY will replace a CW-7586-B (4x8x32 CD-RW), and
my DVD-ROM is a 5x32 SR-8583. Both of these latter puppies are Matsushita
OEM models, so...as you can see, I practice what I preach. :-)

Good luck!

Plextor has long been regarded as the "king" of SCSI, while I was
referring strictly to IDE machines. Note, also, that Yamaha exited the
CD-R/RW market, earlier this year (2003).

Correct.

Sorry, I only deal with U.S. dollars. <G>

Well, I guess I was a bit premature, in praising the SW-9571-CYY's
vaunted "versatility." I just stumbled upon this Web article, from April
1, 2003:

PCWorld.com - Hitachi Unveils Do-It-AllDVD/CD Recorder
<http://www.pcworld.com/news/article/0,aid,110087,tk,dn040103X,00.asp>

Here's the gist of it:

"The GSA-4040B can record to DVD-R and DVD+R discs at 4X speed, DVD-RW
discs at 2X, DVD+RW at 2.4X, and DVD-RAM at 3X. It is also capable of
recording to CD-R discs at 24X and CD-RW discs at 16X, according to
the manufacturer."

It was supposed to be released in June, by the way. Although, elsewhere,
I've read that it will be mainly limited to "OEM customers" (initially,
at least). Hitachi and Korea's LG Electronics - which changed its name
from "Goldstar", in 1995 - "jointly developed and produced the drive
under the name HLDS (Hitachi LG Data Storage)."

See above.

No, I haven't run any true tests on the CW-7586-B's recorded discs. I'm
simply happy that it hasn't yielded any "coasters", yet! <g>

Tsk, tsk. Please, rest assured that >my< name is the "real McCoy",
ironical as that may sound. :-D
