11/1    Anyone got a spare ATAPI CDROM (any speed) drive, and a floppy?
        --PeterM
        \_ what's the diff between IDE and ATAPI?
           \_ For practical purposes: zero.  The anal will soon followup
              with a difference response.
              with a different response.
              \_ So I'm anal:  EIDE is a bus interface and protocol,
                 ATAPI is subset of EIDE which standard CD drives use.
                 The Linux kernel likes ATAPI drives:  non-ATAPI ones
                 are a pain.  --PeterM

12/29   WinXP users:  I installed HP recordnow and HP CD-writer drivers.  And
        now whenever Xp boots up it complains about these drivers being
        incompatible with Xp.  Anybody else seeing this?  Thanks.  Does Xp use
        its own internal CD writer drivers?  Thanks.
        \_ Probably installed the wrong drivers. HP is notoriously bad for
           supplying the wrong drivers with their hardware. You don't

1/24    Current CD drive is a SANYO CRD-820P which skips and doesn't do CDDA.
        Any recommendation for one that is robust and CDDA-capable? I'm not
        looking for much, just one that won't give me a lot of hassle and that
        I can get music from with cdparanoia. Need IDE/ATAPI. Thanks.

11/23   I missed the end of the mp3 discussion and now I'm in need.  Could
        someone send me pointers to a reasonable mp3 player and "get music
        off the cd and onto disc" program for FreeBSD.  For the record, this
        is for a laptop w/o cd so I can listen to cd I already have.

6/2     I'm looking for information on cassette tape to CD replicators.  I have
        some old deteriorating audio tapes that I would like to burn it into a
        audio CD.  Anyone with information on such a machine?  Thanks a lot.
        \_ buy CD-R drive ($400).  Plug your stereo into the audio-in of your
           computer.  Record tape using free software.  Make CD.  -tom
