I will add that, IME, USB creates headaches (as predicted by someone in
another froup). My external (HD-) array runs USB2 and it get's burpy
during period of high throughput. I can only imagine that this will be
worse with a DVD-ROM drive. I'll be upgrading to FW800 next time I
crack the case on my HDPC.
Anyway- to my previous request of storage and reading, I'll now add a
dvd-burner (or two) and an additional reader (or two).
