CD Writer Traumas!

I bought a writer a couple of weeks back, and it wont copy any dreamcast games, and some of the software (eg. CDRWin) wont even detect it.

Is it then true that not all writers can copy rthe games, or am i simply doing something wrong??

Anyway, im going to sell this writer and get another one. The one I have now is and IDE writer, do only SCSI ones work, or is an IDE fine?

Can anyone recommend a writer that they can garantee will work, for around 150quid or less.
