i cannot think of a way how the data should come from the cdrom to ram and then to disk _without_ many an interrupt

no, but if ripping from an atapi-cdrom generates lots of interrupts, burning on an atapi-cdr should do so, too. one would think that two interrupt-emitting processes would interfere with each other, as is the case with ripping and a ppp-connection via an asynchronous line. but ripping on one atapi-device and burning on another works just fine.

that´s right, but they´re _cheap_, therefore the only option for some of us...
