Another feature to look for is BURNProof. This is a new feature found
on many drives that lets it recover from an underrun. Cdrecord
supports it on Linux.
That said I have never seen an underrun on my system (850MHz Athalon,
128MB RAM). I don't do any CD to CD copying though.
I have the CD Writer on the ATA100 a seperate IDE controller from the
HDD and CDROM (Everything is master). This is using an ASUS K7V
motherboard, a Maxtor ATA66 HDD, Plextor 12/10/32A CDR and a cheapo
Creative 52x CDROM.
