Dave,

I couldn't find much in on the 2260 model. Its looks like my 4260 except is only 2X on CDR. I had a 2x CDR for a long time and was happy with it but evenutally yearned for more speed. My 4X CDR writer will dup a 74 Min audio CD in less than 20 Minutes. I like this....

I don't run NT bus master drivers. The Tyan ones for my mobo caused too many BSD's.

The 1 M buffer is larger than most. I used to burn at 2x from CD to CDR on my P133 no problem with a 256K cache. Source CD was even IDE. the new 4x CDRW sounds excellent. I am happy with my unit. I bought the bare unit since I already had the software I wanted.

As with Any CDR software. use the test mode for a while until your sure of your technique and the reliability of the hardware/software setup to avoid making coasters. CDRW's are especiial good for practice as well. :) Enjoy

Sean

software package, which includes a very complete disaster recovery bundle that I have yet to test, but that gets high marks on usenet.

If you get around to testing the recovery software before you return it I would be interested in the results. Does it create a boot CD? Will it span discs or use compression..bottom line..what is the partition size limitation?
