Which burner would be best.

[Wayniac]

It seems the only solution as far as being able to backup virtually anything then, is to get yourself a tower case and fill it with two or even three of the best IDE writers you can get. Or go for SCSI for serious burning sessions.

I have a Traxdata 8x writer, but like the other people have suggested I think it's an "OEM" model possible made by Philips. It does most stuff I ask, but most of the stuff is cracked already. It even does self-boot DC titles using CloneCD, despite the extra 20sec it takes for the Sega log screen to appear! Never could figure out just why that was..

Perhaps the manufacturers of these drives know only too well what people are planning to do with their new-found freedom, and hence deliberatly try and limit a drive's capabilities or restrict if from copying certain protections. There doesn't seem to be only clear winner at the end of the day, does there? Pitty, 'cos we all know that the moment someone releases a super-duper copier, they'll clean the shelves quicker than Bill Gates makes a dollar!
