[aclug-L] Re: CD-R and ATX case vendor recommendations

[Maverick <mluvw47@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
   My CDRW drive is Yamaha 8x4x32 scsi interface, it
works extremely nice on linux and windows, I think I
paid about $130 white box from ebay. The CD media I
would recommend to record data using the blue dye(the
bottom), since the price should be really cheap, I
don't use the blue one burn music, I would strong
recommend using silver or gold. I have a lot of silver
and it works perfect which is a bit higher price than
the blue one, and of course, it works great on data.

I would check on ebay see you can get the right price
for the CD media and case.

Regards,
Maverick
